-#### Support for Ruby 1.8
-
-Ruby 1.8 does not allow escaped Unicode characters in regular expressions and restricts their maximum length. TwitterCLDR's `UnicodeRegex` class supports escaped unicode characters in Ruby 1.8, but cannot offer a work-around for the length issue. For this reason, Ruby 1.8 users are required to install the oniguruma regex engine and require the oniguruma gem in their projects.
-
-To install oniguruma, run `brew install oniguruma` on MacOS, `[sudo] apt-get install libonig-dev` on Ubuntu (you may need to search for other instructions specific to your platform). Then, install the oniguruma gem via your Gemfile or on your system via `gem install oniguruma`. Once installed, `require oniguruma` somewhere in your project before making use of the `TwitterCldr::Shared::UnicodeRegex` class.

 ### Text Segmentation
 
-TwitterCLDR currently supports text segmentation by sentence as described in the [Unicode Technical Report #29](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/). The segmentation algorithm makes use of Unicode regular expressions (described above). Because of this, if you're running Ruby 1.8, you'll need to follow the instructions above to install the oniguruma regular expression engine. Segmentation by word, line, and grapheme boundaries could also be supported if someone wants them.

 ### Unicode YAML Support
 
-Ruby 1.8 does not come with great Unicode support, and nowhere is this more apparent then when dumping Unicode characters in YAML.

Our changes specifically add better dumping of Ruby symbols.  If you can get Mr. Funai's attention, please gently remind him to merge @camertron's pull request so we can use his gem and not have to maintain a separate version :)  Fortunately, YAML parsing can still be done with the usual `YAML.load` or `YAML.load_file`.

 ## Compatibility
 
-TwitterCLDR is fully compatible with Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.3, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, and Rubinius (v2.2.7). We are considering dropping support for Ruby 1.8. If you still need to use TwitterCLDR in a Ruby 1.8 environment, please let us know as soon as possible. Please note that certain TwitterCLDR features require additional dependencies or considerations when run on Ruby 1.8. Refer to the sections above for details.
-
-#### Notes on Ruby 1.8
-
-Numerous TwitterCLDR features have been built with the assumption that they will only ever be used on UTF-8 encoded text, which is mostly due to the need to support Ruby 1.8. For this reason, you may find it necessary to set the global `$KCODE` variable to `"UTF-8"`. Setting this variable tells Ruby what encoding to use when loading source files. TwitterCLDR will **not** set this value for you.

-$KCODE = "UTF-8"
