copied!<p>From <a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/ruby-1.9/classes/CSV.html#M001343" rel="nofollow">CSV#read</a> docs:</p> <blockquote> <p>This method also understands an additional :encoding parameter that you can use to specify the Encoding of the data in the file to be read. You must provide this unless your data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will use this to deterime how to parse the data.</p> </blockquote> <p>So just to be safe, I would first use</p> <pre><code>COUNTRIES = CSV.read("/Users/dumitru/test.csv", { encoding: "UTF-8" }).flatten </code></pre> <p>and check what </p> <pre><code>COUNTRIES[2].encoding.name </code></pre> <p>says a) directly after <code>CSV#read</code> and b) when executed in your ERB template. If it says "US-ASCII" there then you should check whether something accidentally changes your COUNTRIES after parsing them. At least you can then be sure that something's odd inbetween.</p> <p>I would also prefer</p> <pre><code><%= "Country:" + COUNTRIES[id] %> </code></pre> <p>since you already have strings there. But I don't think this will cure the issue, though. </p> <p>I couldn't imagine that something actually changed the contents of the string but maybe the encoding got reassociated as US-ASCII. So you might have a good chance to use</p> <pre><code>COUNTRIES[2].force_encoding("UTF-8") </code></pre> <p>with your string in order to enforce the association back to UTF-8. If that doesn't help I'd try</p> <pre><code>COUNTRIES[2].encode("UTF-8") </code></pre> <p>If all of these methods fail, I would need to know the encoding at the time you try to render the string in your ERB template to help you further.</p>
