Use Iconv:

# load library
require 'iconv'

# create iconv object
# (be careful: the parameter order is TO, FROM)
ic = Iconv.new('UTF-8', 'BIG5')

# convert string
dst_str = ic.iconv(src_str)

It works,but some strings will raise error, I have to skip them.

You can tell iconv to transliterate or ignore characters that it can't
convert. Appendd //TRANSLIT or //IGNORE to the name of the destination
character set.
