title: Replacing non standard characters in Ruby
body: <p>I have an array of strings: </p>
  
  <pre><code>strings = ["\u2014 some text", "\u00A0 Foo", "Bar"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What statement should I write in order to get an array that looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>strings = [" some text", " Foo", "Bar"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried following, but no luck:</p>
  
  <pre><code>strings.map!{|string| string.gsub!(/(Wu2014|Wu00A0)/, '')}
  </code></pre>
