As already indicated above, you may also consider to roll your own
utf8-aware downcase method.

class String

def downcase_utf8

gsub(/./mu) do |char|

case char
when /\320\237/u then "\320\277"
when /\320\240/u then "\321\200"
when /\320\230/u then "\320\270"
when /\320\222/u then "\320\262"
when /\320\225/u then "\320\265"
when /\320\242/u then "\321\202"
else
char
end

end # gsub
end
end


Cheers,

J.K.
