ruby & spreadsheet & utf

i usually work in korean, japanese, english environment. so character encoding problem is so important to me. so most basic policy in this case is using utf8 only. but it doesn’t work in my pc at all.. because os code page is korean and file encoding is done by utf8 and web page’s charset is shift jis and so on..

i can’t find a way to save strings to ruby-spreadsheet as utf8 format. so i’ll use perl, instead. ruby isn’t so stable, as much as i want..

P.S) i’ll introduce some page about encoding japanese character.. you may get some help there
