I am having difficulty converting UTF-8 byte characters into their actual UTF-8 characters.
I have a downloaded image file called J%C3%83%C2%A4germeister.jpg
and I need to have the proper encoding so that the name is: JÃgermeister.jpg
Is there any quick way to convert these to the actual accent chars in Ruby?
I have only managed to gsub
each "%C3%83"
to the actual letter, but they all have to be done separately so it takes many lines of code.
I have tried:
filename = filename.force_encoding('utf-8')
But nothing changes.
