Ruby on rails x charset

I have a problem handling charset in ruby ​​on rails app, especially in my templates. The code that comes from my database works great, but codes like ç ~ that are in my views don't work. I have added the following codes to my code

I added a feature like this, but it still doesn't work. I have ç ~ codes in my application.rhtml not working.

before_filter :configure_charsets 
 # Configuring charset to UTF-8 def configure_charsets    
 headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"     
end

I added also meta http-equiv html to utf-8 and .htaccess parameter AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

What else doesn't work, any other advice?

Place this piece of code in your config ( environment.rb

)

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  config.action_controller.default_charset = "iso-8859-1"
end


This will do it.

Also remove the default character set string if present in layouts/application.html

Is a text editor used to place special characters in the file (source or presentation) that treats those characters as UTF-8? For example, if you are using TextMate, you can intentionally save the file as UTF-8. If for some reason you've used a different encoding before (the default, perhaps), these UTF-8 characters can be recoded during the code editing phase, so even if the rendering process uses UTF-8 all over the place, it still won't work.



Also, if you are using something from the shell like vi or whatever, is your terminal configured to accept UTF-8 by default? If you installed ISO-8859-1 or whatever, you get the same problem.

Is your file application.rhtml

written in the correct character set? Make sure it is UTF-8 and not ISO-8859-1.

So, if the content of your file is UTF-8 and the output is interpreted as UTF-8, then data change occurs between them. Can give us a sixth interpretation of the input bytes (something non-ASCII would be at least two bytes in UTF-8) for one of your special characters, and a hexadecimal interpretation of the output byte or bytes? Perhaps we can figure out what the change is and work out from there.
