utf-8

I've started getting the following error in one of my views for some reason, I don't get it in development, but only in production.

Here is a snippet of the backtrace, any ideas?

ActionView::Template::Error (code converter not found (UTF-8 to UTF-16)):
    19:         [title, summary.gsub(/^/, "  "), nil].join("\n\n")
    20:       end
    21:     end.join
    22:     sections = sections.force_encoding('UTF-8').encode('UTF-16', :invalid => :replace).encode('UTF-8') if sections.respond_to?(:force_encoding)
    23: %>
    24: 
    25: <%= raw sections %>
