Nokogiri, open-uri, and Unicode Characters

I'm using Nokogiri and open-uri to grab the contents of the title tag on a webpage, but am having trouble with accented characters. What's the best way to deal with these? Here's what I'm doing:

require 'open-uri'
require 'nokogiri'

doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(link))
title = doc.at_css("title")

At this point, the title looks like this:

Rag\303\271

Instead of:

Ragù

How can I have nokogiri return the proper character (e.g. ù in this case)?

Here's an example URL:
