Have you guys tried checking Yoshidam's page?
Following text is from there. Also, notice there is a Perl module as well, and i wonder if that could be reused to make Watir use Perl's Win32 module for popup's handling?
2. Uconv module
XMLParser module can process UTF-16 and UTF-8, but cannot process Japanese encoding (e.g. EUC-JP, Shift_JIS and ISO-2022-JP). Uconv module provides the methods to convert UTF-16, UTF-8 or UCS-4 into EUC-JP or CP932, and EUC-JP or CP932 into UTF-16, UTF-8 or UCS-4.
Changes of version 0.4.12
- support Ruby 1.8
Changes of version 0.4.11
- append --enable-compat-win32api option for Win32API compatible CP932 table.
Changes of version 0.4.10
- fix memory leaks
- append --enable-fullwidth-reverse-solidus option.
Changes of version 0.4.9
- add replace_invalid
Changes of version 0.4.8
- support the tainted status
- check non-shortest form UTF-8
- change Exception into Uconv::Error
Changes of version 0.4.6
- fix s2u_conv
- add USE_WIN32API
Changes of version 0.4.5
- fix u2s_conv
- change USC/CP932 conversion table
Changes of version 0.4.4
- SJIS to UCS conversion bug
Changes of version 0.4.3
- Eliminate non-constant initializers
Changes of version 0.4.2
- ZWNBSP-preservative mode
Changes of version 0.4.0
- Support CP932 (a variant of Shift_JIS for Japanese Windows)
Changes of version 0.3.1
- Fix some memory bugs
12. rbuconv library
This is a pure Ruby library for Unicode translation. It can be used on systems without C compilers, and almost compatible with Uconv library. Ruby license.

Thanks for the idea. No luck. Here's my complete test script:
$KCODE = 'u'
require 'jcode'
require 'spreadsheet'
def copy_column (column)
data = "" column).value
$sheet.cells(2, column).value = data
puts data
puts data.unpack("U*")
puts "length: #{ data.length}"
puts "jlength: #{data.jlength}"
require 'breakpoint';breakpoint
end
this_dir = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))
workbook = Workbook.new("#{this_dir}\\intl_text.xls")
workbook.visible = true
$sheet = workbook.use_page 1
copy_column 'b'
copy_column 'c'
