ActiveSupport::Multibyte doesn't favor any encoding. It currently  
implements UTF-8 operations because that's what we, and a lot of  
other people on the web, use daily. We believe that you shouldn't  
implement anything you're not going to use yourself. This is also  
explained on our Trac page, in the FAQ.
