It''s possible mongrel is not including the charset in the HTTP header
while WEBrick is. In my testing both show unicode chars fine, so you
might want to embed a charset as a meta tag in your app:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
This''ll force whatever browser to use utf-8 regardless of
what''s in
the header.

Yes. You nailed it! I''m very thankful for your help.. Something else interests me... is that more or less all that one has to do to get a full UTF support in Rails (=do nothing).. or do I have to use something like Globalize plugin to be able to show and store utf data). Thank you! DAvid Is Globalize plugin used for UTF support or just for localization?

On the client side, that should be enough. All the browsers I''ve tested are good about sending data as utf-8. On the Rails/database side, you''ll need to make sure your database is storing stuff as utf-8. There are a number of resources out there that detail what needs to be done. This link [1] is good if you''re on MySQL. [1] http://ruphus.com/blog/2005/06/23/getting-unicode-mysql-and-rails-to-cooperate/ On Mar 10, 5:47 am, "D.
