A solution may be :

require 'iconv'
string = "\302</u>"  # string isn't in utf-8 \302 in utf is \303\202
string = Iconv.conv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1",string)
TEXT_PATTERN = /\A([^<]*)/um
text_data = string.match(TEXT_PATTERN).to_s
text_data = Iconv.conv("ISO-8859-1","UTF-8",text_data)

puts text_data

\A -> beginig of line
