Hi,
there is a ruby gem to manipulate composite characters (0300-036f) like =
 =

single char?
I need something like this
s=3D"V=CC=85IX=CC=A3" # V with overline (U0305), I, X with dot below (U0=
323)
s.length #=3D> 3
s[0] #=3D> 'V=CC=85' #  V with overline (0305)
thanks, and sorry for my bad english

What's wrong with

irb(main):009:0> ["\u0305", "\u0323"].each {|s| puts s.length, s.bytesize=
}
