<p>My best guess by the way, as I've already said on IRC, is that you are somehow running your ruby process in a single byte ASCII encoding.</p>
<p>I know you said you were using <code>bundle exec rails server</code> to start the builtin rails web server in which case, if you're on linux, you could try setting <code>LANG=en.utf8</code> in the environment before running it, though I thought pretty much all modern linuxes defaulted to a UTF8 locale.</p>
<p>If it's not linux then you'll need to find out how to control the default locale for ruby on your platform.</p>
