Dear Michal,
 
hmm.
I have written the most complex Czech text file I could think of  containing
the words Cesky and cesky - with hooks, that is, and saved it in  UTF8
encoding as file utf8.txt. 
Now, having installed Library No. 8 from _http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html_ 
(http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html) ,
the following script 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
#!/c/axelhome/ruby -Ku -rjcode
require "unicode"
 
text=IO.readlines("/c/axelhome/ruby/utf8.txt")
p 'mytext'
p  text
c=text.to_s.split
p  c
d=Unicode::downcase(c[0])
e=Unicode::downcase(c[1])
puts "are the  first letters equal ?  #{d==e}"
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
returns true.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Axel
