# encoding: utf-8 require 'watir-webdriver' url = 'http://www.expedia.it/Paris-Hotel-Hotel-Campanile-Paris-11-Bastille.h1150139.Informazioni-Hotel?chkin=15/02/2015&chkout=21/02/2015&rm1=a2&hwrqCacheKey=5b830eea-e007-461d-846c-c03063fe36d2HWRQ1411482385101&c=54137d03-92f1-460a-8666-8062c26aae8a&;' agent = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox) agent.goto url puts agent.html If you look at the output you can see the euro sign is not what you would expect.
