Ruby Unicode Encoding

What is the Unicode encoding for Ruby? I know that most languages are encoded in UTF-16 like Java. I was wondering what Ruby was encoded in. I've checked the documentation, but can't find any reference to it.

There are lots of encodings supported in Ruby. Try typing the following in irb:

Encoding.name_list
