If you are not working with 2.0 you should use:

#encode: utf-8

…in the top of the script. Also you have to have the correct encoding
configuration(utf-8 in this case) in your IDE. If that not solve your
problem you will have to play with encode(), encoding() and
force_encoding() string methods. Check out the documentation.
