Are the two machines getting the text from the same source?
What is the source?
What is the encoding of the source?
What locale is Ruby running under?
What version of Ruby are you running?
What encoding is the relevant Ruby source file set to?
How are you retrieving the text from the source?
What encoding is the string once its finally retrieved?
