Still I hope someone can answer the question on why ClojureScript behaves
differently from Clojure.
Output from Clojure:
user=> (str "ø")
*"ø"*
Output from ClojureScript:
#_=> (str "ø")
*"\xF8"*
Output from node.js:
> console.log ("ø");
*ø*
Output from Chrome Console:
console.log ("ø")
*ø*
Anyone from Clojure Core that can comment on this?
Thanks in advance.
BRgds,
Henrik
