From: Panagiotis Atmatzidis Date: 2013-07-09T06:59:30+09:00 Subject: Re: UTF-8 and MySQL Hello, an additional thing that might be worthy noting, if I use string.force_encoding("utf-8") the chars are displayed correctly. I'd still like to have the displayed properly without using force_encoding. Any ideas or thoughts are welcomed. I use ruby19 on FreeBSD 9.1 best regards, Panagiotis (atmosx) Atmatzidis email: atma@convalesco.org URL: http://www.convalesco.org GnuPG ID: 0x1A7BFEC5 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1A7BFEC5 -- The wise man said: "Never argue with an idiot.
