Title: Encoding issue affecting british pound sign.

Firstly, thank you for an awesome Gem which has saved me loads of time!

The british pound sign is being returned having been transformed
into unicode escape sequence link this;

item.get_unescaped('//LowestNewPrice/FormattedPrice')
=> "£89.90"

When what I would expect is this;

item.get_unescaped('//LowestNewPrice/FormattedPrice')
=> £89.90"

I have tested on 1.8.7 & 1.9.2 and the tests are passing. I think that most terminals will turn Unicode escape sequences into Unicode characters, so this would have been tricky to spot as everything looks OK in irb etc.
