Three of the followings are recommended.
1. You write your codes in UTF-8.(though I've never tried.)
2. use Iconv module(see RAA).


If you use strings only in static menus/messages, 
I recommend you to use Ruby-GetText-Package(see RAA)
(This package require Iconv module too).
Because if you use it, your application can support L10n easily.

Cheers.
