title: Encoding Unicode code points with Ruby
body: <p>I'm retrieving an HTML document that is parsed with Nokogiri. The HTML is using charset ISO-8859-1. The problem is there are some Unicode chars in the document which are converted to Unicode code points instead of their respective character.</p>
  
  <p>For example, this is some text in the HTML as received (in ISO-8859-1):</p>
  
  <pre><code>\x95\x95 JOHNNY VENETTI \x95\x95
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And when attempting to work with this text, it gets converted to this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\u0095\u0095 JOHNNY VENETTI \u0095\u0095
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my question is, how can I ensure those characters are represented as their appropriate character instead of the code point? I've tried doing a gsub on the text, but that seems wrong for this. Also, I do not have control over the encoding of the HTML document.</p>
