Thanks ya2yaml is good suggestion. Took a look at it and it does the
right thing (and would work except I had trouble getting it to play nice
with active record etc.). I did come up with a different solution that
I'm posting here in case other people run into the same issue.
monkey patching String can force YAML to use \ escaping rather then
binary and therefore return strings in the default encoding (UTF-8)
rather then ASCII-8BIT
class String
def is_binary_data?
encoding == Encoding::ASCII_8BIT unless empty?
end
end
originally this routine uses some heuristics around which would be
shorter \ escaping of binary encoding of the string which is why only
some of the international strings I had were having problems.
