Get each char in a unicode

$KCODE = "u"        # Specify Unicode UTF-8, or start Ruby with -Ku option
require "jcode"     # Load multibyte character support

mb = "2\303\2272=4" # This is "2×2=4" with a Unicode multiplication sign


mb.each_char do |c| # Iterate through the characters of the string
  print c, " "      # c is a String with jlength 1 and variable length
end                 # Outputs "2 × 2 = 4 "
