SnakeYAML has a number of tests to cover Unicode characters. 
Anyway I have added one more test for this issue. It works properly. You can 
see it here:
http://code.google.com/p/snakeyaml/source/browse/src/test/java/org/yaml/snakeyam
l/issues/issue68/NonAsciiCharacterTest.java

I think the problem is the encoding. YAML requires the file to be in UTF-8 or 
in UTF-16. I am afraid you use Windows and Cp1252 character encoding. Since you 
do not have BOM in the file SnakeYAMl assumes it is UTF-8 which is wrong.
If you still think it is a bug in SnakeYAML can you please submit a patch with 
a test case ?

You right. I change file encoding to UTF-8 in java and SnakeYAML reads file 
perfectly. Intersing that earlier file was in ANSI encoding, java in CP1252 
encoding and only character И make exception.
Issue is solved, sorry for inconvenience and thank you for perfect YAML parser.

If you remove "И" the file might be parsed without errors but you get 
different characters.
