[Rails] Re: RoR + MySQL + Unicode

[Johan Chaves Saborío]

I had similar problems, and after trying everything...

I noticed that the problem was my database client... I mean, I used the
windows "console" to execute the mysql client for loading the data and
special characters displayed a '?' on my browser, but when I used a rake
task to load data, special characters were displayed correctly.

I don't know why... but I worked for me..... I hope it helps you....
