Rails - Nov 2007 - supporting iso-8859-1

hi guys,
i want to display special characters in my view (german umlaute
ä,ü,..). Can anyone tell me how to do this.

1. when i put a "ü" into my view it results in (using ü
instead
works fine, but i want to use it directly) ...


 NoMethodError in Home#index
Showing app/views/home/index.rhtml where line # raised:

You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.empty?

2. when i use an array within the "select" helper the umlaute are
rendered with a question-mark

thx for your help
