Rails - Nov 2011 - form_for text_field

I have a form

... html .....

<% form_for @person do |f| %>

... html .....

<%= f.text_field :last_name %>

... html .....

<% end %>

When last_name field of @person doesn''t contains french special symbols
like ''é'', all characters are displayed in the input control
(f.text_field :last_name ).

Else only symbols before french special symbol are displayed.

Why is it?

I''d start by checking that you are using the same encoding throughout
the app (the encoding advertised to the browser, database connection encoding,
encoding of the table/columns etc) or funny things will happen. For example if
you try and insert invalid UTF8 content in a UTF8 column (eg because
it''s actually Latin-1 text) MySQL will silently truncate it.

I understand this idea. But if, for example, I have last_name = "tést"
and execute:


<%= f.text_field :last_name %>

results: t

<%= f.object.per_last_name %>

results: tést



So, I am not sure, but I think that encoding of page and database is ok.

But what do you think about it?

And also I had detected that if I change

      def escape_once(html)
       
ActiveSupport::Multibyte.clean(html.to_s).gsub(/[\"><]|&(?!([a-zA-Z\u00C0-\u00FF]+|(#\d+));)/)
{ |special| ERB::Util::HTML_ESCAPE[special] }
      end

method in 
c:\Ruby187\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-2.3.5\lib\action_view\helpers\tag_helper.rb

to

  def escape_once(html)
       html
  end

french symbols are displayed but also are displayed many wrong symbols 
like new line...
