Do you need to use 1.9.2?

Since 1.9.3 and its new default YAML engine "psych", strings encoded
in UTF-8 should be dumped as UTF-8.

If upgrading to 1.9.3 or 2.0 is no option, set "psych" explicitly
(you probably will need to install the "psych" gem first) with

     require 'yaml'
     YAML::ENGINE.yamler='psych'
     ...

or try searching with "utf-8 yaml ruby" for workarounds.
