I am trying to load a web page using Watir:

        @agent = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox)
        @agent.goto url

The web page I am going to contains the euro symbol in strings like this: € 
1.038,00

If I pull up the page in FireFox and do a view source, I can see the text 
fine.

However, when I print out the HTML in ruby, or access the text of an 
element, I get this: € 1.038,00

I have confirmed that the encoding for the browser and for the strings 
appears to be UTF-8.

I am even running my test on windows and can see FireFox starting up and 
going to the page, which displays the euro symbol correctly.  But again, 
when I try to access any of these fields in ruby the euro symbol seems to 
be wrong.

Can somebody tell me what is going on?

Thanks,

-- Greg
