Well, Ruby 1.9 (which is due in December) will have some Unicode
support.  (So you'll have a `chars` method on strings, like with
Rails.)  Matz is working on it right now even, as he posted that he
was tooling around with string.c earlier this week on his blog.

That is, nothing's been checked in yet.  Because he wants it to be
good, you see?
