Hi all, I want my rails application and ferret to support utf-8, so I create a database in MySql 5.0 using utf-8 charset and add the following declarations in environment.rb: $KCODE = ''u'' require ''jcode'' ENV[''LANG''] = ''zh_CN.utf8'' require ''acts_as_ferret'' After that, I enter some chinese characters from the web page I''ve created. Everything is OK, I can see all the text in the correct encoding. But as I turn to my database and check the data in the tables, I can only see some meaningless characters(while these meaningless characters can be showed correctly in the web pages). Further more, if I enter some data directly to the database, the web pages will show these data as a group of "?". I think there must be something wrong with the encoding setting but I cannot tell what it is. Anybody know how to solve this? Thanks very much. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
