I have a issue with UTF-8 compliance... Any solutions?

You're going to have to give more details than that.

Hi Fred,

  I mean in a given message text posted or submitted in a form, special characters are inconsistently rendering.

  I need to check whether this is a utf problem or an HTML entity management problem?

Thanks&Regards, Kiran.

Rails works well with UTF-8. When characters are rendering incorrectly after having been posted, 99% of the time it's an encoding configuration with the database or an incorrect HTML content type declaration. Have you checked your database.yml and database encoding setup?
