Yay!!
I have a found a way to make this work. Instead of using the text_field's
set method directly setting the value to the text_field is working without
any issues. Please find the working code which was able to enter japanese
characters in a textbox. I saved the ruby script using the notepad++ editor
in the UTF-8 without BOM encoding. Hope this helps other Watir users stuck
like me.
require 'paths.rb'
require 'win32ole'
require 'watir'
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 #UTF-8

$Browser.text_field(:name,'q').value = "管理者"
