Problem with : invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError): /something/websites/umfrage/xj489mvw/edit_columns.cgi

I had a problem that if I used non-ascii char it failed with

Problem with : invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError): /something/websites/umfrage/xj489mvw/edit_columns.cgi

I tried the usual with locale, setting LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL but it did not help

I then put the following into some files:

#encoding: utf-8
Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8

Now it works. I do not know enough to see if this is my own problem or if it would make sense to put the lines in the correct place for everybody.
