encoding problem - Invalid character in ASCII string

[diakopter]

"breaks" means outputs: "Invalid character in ASCII string"

13:41 < diakopter> say('¢'"\n"); # breaks
13:41 < diakopter> say('¢'); # works
13:42 < diakopter> say("\n"); # works
13:42 < diakopter> say("¢\n"); # works
13:46 < diakopter> say("¢""\n"); # breaks
13:47 < diakopter> say("¢"'a'); # breaks
13:50 < diakopter> say('a'"¢"); # breaks
13:51 < diakopter> I have parrot nqp
13:51 < diakopter> nqp's parrot
13:52 < diakopter> 'a'~"¢" # breaks

The source of the problem seems to be parrot: parrot/parrot#837 .

parrot/parrot#837 has been fixed in a branch and merged. Please let us know if this fixes the problem for y'all

Looks good in 2013.01:

say('¢'~"\n"); # breaks
say('¢'); # works
say("\n"); # works
say("¢\n"); # works
say("¢"~"\n"); # breaks
say("¢"~'a'); # breaks
say('a'~"¢"); # breaks
'a'~"¢" # breaks

OUTPUT:

¢

¢


¢

¢

¢a
a¢
