Hi Loganathan, I guess this might help you with your issue.
Try using this helper: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4527 It puts a method utf8? on the String. So you can grab the String from mysql and see if it is utf8: my_string.utf8? If is not, then you can try change the encoding of your String using other methods like: my_string.asciify_utf8 my_string.latin1_to_utf8 my_string.cp1252_to_utf8 my_string.utf16le_to_utf8 Maybe this String is saved on mysql in one of these encodings.
