Does it work with Webrick? If it is working with Webrick but not with  
Mongrel then try adding:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

to your page header. For reasons I haven't bothered thinking about  
this worked for me. Maybe it is more widely useful? Don't know (I  
find thinking about character encoding gives me a really bad  
headache...)

Cheers,
