带有各种字符的符号

Question

我想将以下字符串转换为符号:

• 'Architects & Engineers'
• 'Catering & Hotels'

他们有像'&','/'.

我怎样才能做到这一点？

Answer 1

'Architects & Engineers'.to_sym == :'Architects & Engineers'
#? true

['Architects & Engineers'.to_sym, :'Architects & Engineers'].map(&:to_s)
#? ["Architects & Engineers", "Architects & Engineers"]
