Anybody knows how to solve that?
Check this:
u.lastname
=> “Guimar\303\243es”
puts u.lastname
Guimarães
=> nil
u.lastname.titlecase
=> “Guimar\303\243Es”
puts u.lastname.titlecase
GuimarãEs # ------------------> Check the E in capital, this is a bug
=> nil

case conversion functions do/will not support characters out of ASCII
range (A-Za-z). Tim B. enlightened us.

Titlecase is a Rails-ism (and the usual policy here is that Rails
questions should go to Rails lists or #rubyonrails IRC channel), but you
can try:
puts u.lastname.chars.titlecase

If you’re going to use utf-8 you need at least to set $KCODE=‘u’
$KCODE=‘n’
puts “Guimar\303\243es”.titlecase
GuimarãEs
$KCODE=‘u’
puts “Guimar\303\243es”.titlecase
