Subject: Re: Ruby 1.9.2 with Rails 3.0.1

Hello Brian,
You wrote:
"The correct answer is: the encoding of a ruby 1.9 source file (and 
hence
the String literals within that file) is *always* US-ASCII, unless you
tag it with a #encoding line which says otherwise."

This works for me and is consistent with my observation.  Rails does set 
a default encoding in one of the files config/application.rb as shown 
below:

# configure the defaulting encoding used in templates for Ruby 1.9
config.encoding = "utf-8"

It seems like the seeds.rb file which is conventionally used to 
initialize data is unaware of this setting.  Further, it seems like that 
is not what the Rails team intended.
Regards,
Bharat
