Dear Peter,
 
there have been lengthy discussions about Unicode and Ruby on this  list.
I remember responding to an upcase/downcase question here:
 
_http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/183176_ 
(http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/183176) 
 
You can do character encoding conversions using iconv, which is
part of Ruby. There is documentation and examples available
here:
 
_http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/iconv/rdoc/index.html_ 
(http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/iconv/rdoc/index.html) 
 
Best regards,
 
Axel
