He lost me at "á la carte". Incidentally, no proper unicode support is why I never used rails (or ruby) for anything more than a tutorial. Yes, that was a long time ago.
- fbuilesv 14y agoThis has nothing to do with Ruby or Rails. Setting a proper HTML encoding (UTF-8) would fix it.
- espadrine 14y agoAnother way to phrase this is that DHH forgot to add <meta charset="utf-8" /> Beyond that, the expression isn't "á la carte". It comes from the french "à la carte" (grave accent, not acute).
- nkuttler 14y agoHence "incidentally". Couldn't help but to make a connection.
- bdcravens 14y agoYes, you could help it. The connection you made applies to any language/framework.
- steveklabnik 14y agoThis is FUD. Rails actually does have UTF-8 support, and it's on by default, to the point of fixing bugs in IE to make sure everything is UTF-8: http://intertwingly.net/blog/2010/07/29/Rails-and-Snowmen http://intertwingly.net/blog/2010/07/29/Rails-and-Snowmen
