You need to tell Ruby the character set you're using in your script using the KCODE directive. For example, put the following line at the top of your script for UTF-8: $KCODE = 'UTF-8' Other recognised values are "EUC" and "Shift-JIS". You'll still probably run into some issues with regexps and so on, but that should get Ruby to understand your script. I hope this helps.
