No, I just haven't made decision yet.  Probably it remains there.

Multilingualized Ruby, which I'm currently working on, supports ASCII,
Latin1, UTF-8, EUC-JP and SJIS at the same time.  In addition, it is
fairly easy to add new encoding support such as Big5 or EUC-KR etc.

Well, I'm going back offline again.
