Hello everyone

I've written a script to push data from one of our in house calendar
web applications into a google calendar.

The problem I'm having is this.

The mysql database hosting the data is utf8 formatted, and all data in
there conforms to the utf8 standard.

I'm currently encoding the entries like so.

require 'htmlentities'
coder = HTMLEntities.new
texttopasstogooglecal = coder.encode(texttopasstogoogle)

Text to pass to Google is coming from a mysql query of the database.

The problem arrives when it tries to pass certain characters, ie, the
special(oh so special) opening single quote pasted in from and MS word
document.

There are other characters as well, I've had some fun with this
problem before in a slightly different guise.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Any help, greatly appreciated.

As always I'll post my findings back into this post for posterity.
