Subject: Problem with special characters like üöä (german: umlaut)

Hi.

If I make this:
print '���'

.... all is okay. But if I read [1] a file with the content '���' and 
print the content I get this: ������. This is very strange. Can anybody 
help me with this problem?

[1]
file = File.open(ENV['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] + "test5.temp", File::RDONLY)
   while line = file.gets do
     print line
   end
file.close

bye
