See the recent thread "Hash Table", it explains the funny business going on.

I also posted something to discuss this general matter a few months
ago but don't really remember if it got any traction (think not). I
guess it approached this via NSArray.

You don't need to use dataUsingEncoding, you can just convert that to
a ruby string instead. Many ways to do that come to me:

String(foo)
String.new(foo)
"".replace(foo)
""<<foo
""+foo
