Hi

(Ive looked at the other questions - none seemed to quite fit my problem.)

I have some file-names under Windows 7 that need to be translated in to MySQL database (UTF-8) with Ruby on Rails.

An example file-name includes "íéó" in some kind of Windows 7 file-system encoding.

Ive tried many combinations of gsub and ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars.

Thanks for the help
