Converting from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 seems to work though (source code 
file is encoded in UTF-8 and character set encoding of Terminal.app is 
set to ISO Latin 1, i.e. iso-8859-1).

...

p "#{word} => #{Iconv.iconv('iso-8859-1//translit', 'utf-8', word)}"

...


=>
irb(main):020:0> load "omg.rb"
"\303\246gis => \346gis"
"stra\303\237e => stra\337e"
"kierkeg\303\245rd => kierkeg\345rd"
"jo\303\243o => jo\343o"
"bj\303\270rk => bj\370rk"
=> true


Cheers

j.k.
