Hi all!
I have some text in russian. Then I've print it with puts I saw beatiful
text, but then use p operator text is "\353\317\314\314\305\304\326".
How can I solve problem, because when using iconv the problem is same?

p uses String#inspect which I believe will always print something that can
be safely interpreted as a Ruby string on 7 bit ASCII. You should use
puts instead of p - p is really rather a debugging / inspection untility
but not meant for normal program output (IMHO).

Kind regards

The difference between puts obj and p obj is that the
former uses obj.to_s and the latter obj.inspect. Is
there a specific reason why you need to use p instead
of puts or did I misunderstand you?
