Rails - Mar 2006 - RJS & Unicode (again)

I have a problem with unicode & RJS. I searched several boards & blogs, 
but was not able to find a solution. Let me explain my problem with an 
example.

View (test.rhtml):
  ...
  <div id="a_test_div">?????????</div>
  ...

Output:
?????????

RJS-Template (an_action.rjs):
  page.replace_html ''a_test_div'',
''?????????''


Calling ''an_action'' changes the content of
''a_test_div'', the output
should remain the same, but Instead of ''?????????'' i get 
''??????????????????'' which seems to be an encoding problem.

I''ve found a workaround for strings (introduced by Thomas Fuchs) by 
using
  page.replace_html ''messageEditor'',
''?????????''.gsub(/([^\x00-\x9f])/u)
{ |s| "&#x%x;" % $1.unpack(''U'')[0] }
instead of
  page.replace_html ''a_test_div'',
''?????????''
but this strategy of course fails while rendering partials.

Are there any better suggestions?

Thanks
Dave

Sorry, I forgot:

A permanent solution can be reached by changing ''render''
method in
''add_rjs_to_javascript_helper.rb'' to:

def render(*options_for_render)
  (Hash === options_for_render.first ?
    @context.render(*options_for_render) :
     options_for_render.first.to_s).
       gsub(/([^\x00-\x9f])/u) { |s| "&#x%x;" %
$1.unpack(''U'')[0] }
end

but I''m still not shure, if it is really a good one.

Better suggestions are always welcome.
