Thanks for the report. Can you try reproducing this outside of 3rdRail?

From a command window type "irb" and repeat your test.

2 issues: Ruby has trouble displaying accented characters on us-english terminals,
and it seems to ignore case translation for them.

C:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> "e ".upcase
=> "E\202"
irb(main):002:0> "e ".downcase
=> "e\202"
irb(main):003:0> "e ".downcase
=> "e\220"
irb(main):004:0> "e ".upcase
=> "E\220"
irb(main):005:0>

This is a ruby issue, not a rails or 3rdrail issue.
