I am running a RoR app that pulls data from some event tables which are using utf8_general_ci as collation.
The problem is that all my pages render stuff like this:
Atat�rk Stadi Nov 02 20:00
So far I have tried: - changing the encoding within application.rb
adding
<meta charset="utf-8" />
adding
content="text/html;charset=utf-8"
all combinations of above tags with all possible relevant encodings that may apply to our content.
Document type is
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I have also tried HTML5 and other variations.
I have not yet tried the iconv solution, would prefer not having to go down that road.
Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve this?
Thank you! N.
do you have a encoding: utf8 in your config/database.yml file?
