Encoding issue with file upload

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,

I've got some issue while trying to upload and read csv file on my application. For some file, i get some odd character appearing when i print the result, but not in my logs. Here joined a screen to explain what i'm talking about.

I think it's an encoding issue, so I tried to convert file content in UTF-8 with Iconv, but i get some trouble to determine the exact original encoding.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you for answers. Is there an easy way to clean up my file before parsing it?
