Rails - Jul 2010 - TemplateError while rendering german special characters

Hi

I am using following versions of Ruby and Rails on arch linux

[hardik@sunshine: kandibank ]$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.1p429 (2010-07-02 revision 28523) [x86_64-linux]
[hardik@sunshine: kandibank ]$ rails --version
Rails 2.3.8

I am  using the sqllite database in development mode.

I can store a string having German special characters (umlauts)  without
a problem i.e. Müller.

But when Rails try to render a page which extracts the same string from
the database it crashes with following error message. It is strange that
it renders the string "Löchen" properly which doesn''t come
from
database.



ActionView::TemplateError (incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and
ASCII-8BIT) on line #28 of app/views/candidates/index.html.erb:
25:     <td><%=h candidate.notes %></td>
26:     <td><%= link_to ''Ansehen'', candidate
%></td>
27:     <td><%= link_to ''Editieren'',
edit_candidate_path(candidate)
%></td>
28:     <td><%= link_to ''Löchen'', candidate, :confirm
=> ''Are you
sure?'', :method => :delete %></td>
29:   </tr>
30: <% end %>
31: </table>

    app/views/candidates/index.html.erb:28:in `block in
_run_erb_app47views47candidates47index46html46erb''

Rendered rescues/_trace (44.0ms)
Rendered rescues/_request_and_response (0.2ms)
Rendering rescues/layout (internal_server_error)


Any idea ?
