Thank you for quick fix and your answer, I've tried the magic comment thing base on what I googled, to be precise `<% # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- %>` which didn't work. Your version `<%# coding: UTF-8 %>` does work so I can now use `?���` without getting parser error. Yeeey! ---------------------------------------- Bug #14095: erb ignores attempt to set encoding https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14095#change-67772 * Author: graywolf (Gray Wolf) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Erb seems to ignore any attempt to set encoding: $ erb -U <%= "a".encoding %> ^D ASCII-8BIT I've tried multiple ways to do this but I just can't convice it that the .erb file is in UTF-8. It insists on ASCII-8BIT. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
