Comment:

 After a quick investigation this looks like an expected behavior.
 String#inspect in 1.9 does show unicode bytes instead of characters, which
 is why you're getting this output. However, printing the string will show
 the whole unicode character sequence.

 {{{
 $ macirb
 >> "ooo".transform('latin-hiragana')
 => "\xE3\x81\x8A\xE3\x81\x8A\xE3\x81\x8A"
 >> puts "ooo".transform('latin-hiragana')
 おおお
 => nil
 >>
 }}}

 I verified that by selecting some songs in my iTunes playlist and calling
 #puts on the current track name.

 {{{
 $ macruby -e "framework 'ScriptingBridge'; puts
 SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier('com.apple.itunes').currentTrack.name"
 Protège-moi

 $ macruby -e "framework 'ScriptingBridge'; puts
 SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier('com.apple.itunes').currentTrack.name"
 そぎい！
 }}}
