I can only assume OS X encodes all my files in UTF-8. Pasting UTF-8 characters works in Terminal.app. I can't ask for anything better. However, since I do share code across machines, I was wondering if there was a command I could use to determine the character encoding of a file. Oh and file on a linux/BSD machine DOES NOT WORK! At least not for me.
$ man find
Search for mime. Get the switch.
OS X:
MacBook:Ruby dontiveros$ file -I random.rb
random.rb: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

yay
That doesn't work. *sigh*
