With an editor that understand UTF-8, I guess (considering that you use
characters I know from Polish, you probably already do). The OS has to
support UTF-8, too (I *think* that Windows does, and so should Mac OS X.
I'm not sure about other *NIX flavors).

If you mean Ruby, Iconv and Kconv are the way to go, AFAIK, to convert
strings between character sets.
