Welcome to unicode hell.  By the way, there is a third ring: in order to 
post about a unicode character on the internet, sometimes you need to 
post the html entity corresponding to the unicode character--otherwise 
browsers display some symbol indicating that they can't render the 
character.  For instance, all I see are a bunch of black diamonds with 
question marks littering your post.

I wish I could help you, but I'm stumped as to why irb is showing you 
\224 for "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS".  This is what I get:

irb(main):001:0> str="Mot旦rhead"
=> "Mot\303\266rhead"


One of these should display correcly:

Mot旦rhead -->o with umlaut entered from my special characters palette in 
my text editor

Mot&#246;rhead --> html entity for o with umlaut
