Because that string looks like YAML, complete with the opening "---". \xC3\xA9 is the UTF-8 encoding of codepoint U+00E9, "small letter e with acute", something you'd expect in French text. > > If you do `YAML.load(str)` in 1.9 or higher, this is what appears: > > irb: YAML.load(str) > ===> {"French"=>"3.

That's what I thought originally, too. When I copied the OP's string as written, and fed it to YAML.load, it flubbed the translation, reversing thebyte order. As far as I can tell, I have UTF-8 set everywhere.
