Setting Rails files encoding

Question

I have problem with enconding (i think) in Rails. When i put for example:

flash[:notice] = "ąęćół"

in rails controller i see 500 error page. I set default encoding for MYSQL on

UTF-8

but where i can set it for rails files?

Thanks for answers.

You need to put # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- at the top of the file where you want to write text in Unicode

is there some other way? I have many files when i need to do it. Hmm good solution will be a I18n file for translations then...

Yes you should put the texts in the yml files in config/locales. Please accept the answer anyway as this might come handy if you need to do specific testing for Unicode in your specs ;)

All you need is a comment containing coding: utf-8 in the first line of the file (or, after the shebang). The -*- are unnecessary
