Installation

gem 'hirb-unicode'
require 'hirb-unicode'

If you are using bundler (ex. Rails 3), add hirb-unicode into your gemfile:

gem 'hirb-unicode'

And run require 'hirb-unicode' in your irb console or .irbrc

hirb-unicode uses unicode-display_width gem to calculate width of unicode characters.

rake test:hirb loads hirb and hirb-unicode, run all test of original hirb gem. This ensures the original hirb functionality is not broken.
rake test:unicode tests functions about unicode string processing.
