The template is likely UTF-8, but the information from the database, e.g. entry[:original_url] is likely ASCII-8BIT if you are using MySQL and the mysql adapter, assuming your tables are UTF-8. Try using the mysql2 adapter instead. IIRC, install the mysql2 gem and change all 'adapter: mysql' in config/database.yml to 'adapter: mysql2'.
