My first thought would be to add the line* include 'cgi' *to your scripts, then try CGI::escapeHTML(your_string) and see if that works for you.
If that, or some variant, doesn't work for you then I suggest you may want to ask this on StackOverflow and see if there are any Ruby gems that will encode/decode the target string so it matches your validation data. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
