...arsets/Index'' file rake aborted! Can''t initialize character set utf8 (path: /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/charsets/) First thought that I was missing the charset but it was ok. Then I removed encoding: utf8 and added the following to my application controller: before_filter :configure_charsets def configure_charsets headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8" ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute ''SET NAMES UTF8'' end This then works fine.

Hi, I''m a newcomer to Ruby and to Rails, and am having a problem with character encoding. Now, I know ruby doesn''t handle unicode...but, characters like ? (eacute) and ? (ccedil) are part of the iso-8859-1 charset, so it shouldn''t be a problem, right? But, for some reason, the string functions still seem to hang on those characters. As an example, in a brand new rails

I am disappointed about the (seeming) lack of Unicode support in Rails. Is there a howto about working the most important limitations? For example, figuring out the length of an entered word: "???".length() will return 6, not 3. So if there is a maximum number of characters a user is allowed to enter, this won''t work as it should -- it treats strings as byte arrays instead
