I read a solution in a turkish forum may be u can use it. They says for unicode use jcode=u and write your own regex for downcase/uppercase functions. So if yu do that inthe ruby code all libraries which use that function will use your function. But this problem will be fixed in 2.0 version of Ruby. Serbulent UNSAL
