Where do I set
Encoding.default_external = 'UTF-8'
in Rails 2.3.8?
Can I add it to the environment.rb? Where?

This is probably entirely wrong for what you want, but today I had a little adventure with a certain non-ascii character and I found I could set the encoding at the class level using the following comment at the top of the file:
encoding: UTF-8
I added this to the top of environment.rb
Encoding.default_external = 'UTF-8'
Seems to have done the trick. At least I think so.

Yeah, I saw that too, unusually clear on a subject that generally makes my eyes glaze over
