Usually a botched UTF8 issue. Make sure that the database, rails, the website, everything agrees on the character set. Whenever this happens to me, it's usually from parsing Excel files that have been converted to CSV that I'm trying to import and they are simply botched up... and I either end up hand fixing them or running them through Iconv to squash the bad characters, but that means losing some things occasionally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
