This is something i'm working on....

class Person
  def initialize(@name, @street, @phone, @age)
    puts "Created #{to_s} "
  end

  def to_s
    "Person : #{@name}, the age of #{@age}, lives at #{@street} and has
phone no #{@phone}..."
  end
end

s = Person.new( "Soeren", "Kronprinsensgade 26", "12345678", "21" )
puts s.to_s

My problem is that when i try to write my name correctly
    s = Person.new( "Søòen", "Kronprinsensgade 26", "12345678", "21" )
i get an error

Can strings not contain national characters like"ø¢.... or do i have to do
something special to make the string contain the "ø¢ (eg. an escape
character)
