a string is considered by ruby as encoded as <insert your locale here>. If you 
want to treat strings from other encodings, you can convert encoding using 
"iconv" (bundled with ruby 1.8); in your case, you can use iconv to convert 
the string to your local encoding (iso-8859-1) and then capitalize will work 
fine.

PS: better support for this is planned for ruby 2.0
