maybe you can use the Uconv module from  
[http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html](http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html)  
There are several encodings for Japanese signs, so you may have to try a  
bit …

Best regards,

Axel

Is this what you want to do?

$KCODE = “NONE”  
str = “Rubye$B%=!\<%9%3!\<%I40A42r@be(B”  
p str #  
Ruby\343\202\275\343\203\274\343\202\271\343\202\263\343\203\274\343\203\211\345\256\214\345\205\250\350\247\243\350\252\254
