The unicode question comes up again and again. We are likely going to just find a way to support unicode in JRuby even though the Ruby API doesn't have accommodations for it. At that point, you should be able to use JRuby's win32ole with unicode strings.

That would be great.  I've used jruby with both jcom and jacozoom, and
it worked flawlessly with both.  It would be nice to have something
as part of the distribution.

One thing about win32ole is that when I used it, there was no way to
pass unicode strings back and forth.  I ended up modifying win32ole so
that it expected utf8 cruby strings and converted them before passing
them on.  I don't know if things have changed in later releases, but it
would be great to have that work (I'm not sure if jruby's win32ole would
be different than cruby's because of that).
