Thanks, Matz. This works:

jesus@jesus-laptop:~$ irb1.8 -KU
irb(main):001:0> require 'jcode'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> "âbcdë".tr "âë", "ae"
=> "abcde"

Although I don't understand all the nuances that are coming into play here.

I'll leave it for later when I have more time to understand more about

Thanks for answering,

Jesus.
