Have you tried setting the character set to Unicode? That can make a
difference. Also, before you abandon Ruby altogether, be aware that
Ruby 1.9 deals with characters completely differently than Ruby 1.8,
so those problems you're having might go away when you upgrade (not
necessarily now, of course, 1.9 being officially 'experimental')
