I''m trying to read from an external RSS feed and display the results on my site, but I''m getting weird characters in places. This looks like a charset mismatch (ie, the feed in question is utf-8, but I''m not?), but I''m not sure how to fix it? At the command prompt, mysql shows the appropriate character (ie, fancy apostrophe, not binary or weirdness), but console shows a weird binary-ish string, like "more evidence of the housing market\342\200\231s deceleration". That makes me think the problem is in Rails/Ruby somewhere? Or: is there a way to strip this out or replace it during the RSS parsing? I don''t so much care whether I show the fancy quotes or not, I just don''t want the junk characters. -- Josh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
