I used ticket #2188 as base for explanations. This is a long read. I wanted to include all the relevant information in one place. I also included information about related tickets in LH and their status. I decided that adding

I have kind of an interesting problem. I have a form wherein people enter information. Big surprise. If they enter any "weird" characters like ø or é or whatever, the form will submit and all is well. However, I have a select box for the state which, if you''re looking at Spain, has states like A Coruña, Cádiz and País Vasco. These are pulled from the database which is set to

Hi, Windows Vista Home Premium ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-mswin32_90] I noticed there was an ordinal bug in win32-security and Ruby 1.9.x.

What''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either.

I am using CSV in a rake task (db:seed) on Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2 to read a file with some funny chars in it. Upon breaking in at a point where the row read using CSV is in variable row, with the string with the char in row[''price''] I get the following strange results which I cannot understand. (rdb:1) row[''price''] "\xA32.00" (rdb:1)

Hello I have much trouble with german umlauts. I've installed samba4 as a DC in an existing Windows Domain.

On the Windows 2000 system are lots of files with extended characters - like (tm), (r) and characters with umlauts. I used the "locale" command and set LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8. I am running KDE and in the Konqueror

Dear helpeRs, on my new machine - Windows 7 64Bit, R 2.15-2, I can no longer source files for which the path contains the o-Umlaut (?). As a historical burden, my username is Gr?mping and contains that Umlaut (I wouldn't have chosen it now, but decided to keep it for easy transfer).
