That seems to be a 3rd party issue: https://github.com/larskanis/ruby-pg/commit/5f3d5da5621e325c9f79f80ee46872549e608e7b https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/5 ---------------------------------------- Bug #10673: Ruby 2.2.0 bug in UTF-8 encoding with Postgres https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10673#change-50678 * Author: Fred Guest * Status: Open * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * ruby -v: 2.2.0 * Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- There is some kind of bug in Ruby 2.2.0 re UTF-8 encoding with Postgres. I upgraded a previously bug free Rails 4.1.5 app from Ruby 2.1.5 to Ruby 2.2.0 and started getting these errors "PG::CharacterNotInRepertoire: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8" on user input email fields in both development and in a staging environment on Heroku. Downgrading to Ruby 2.1.5 with no other changes fixed the issue completely. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
