Do Ruby strings suck, or do they actually have support for multibyte characters and different encodings? Googling seems to suggest the former.

Uh oh, wait. Made by Japs and it doesn't have proper international support? PLEASE tell me its strings are Unicode (any of UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32 if you must). I don't care if it doesn't have any support for other character sets, in fact it's even better if it doesn't, so people don't use the wrong character sets.
