[erlang-questions] Different behavior between erl and escript when the string module is used for unicode strings

[Kawatake Chiharu]

Oh, I see. I did not know that. It's been about two weeks since I started
learning Erlang. Forgive me that I asked a silly question.

I feel embarrassed a bit. But I was able to learn more about it, anyway.

Thank you very much !
