UTF8Cleaner
Removes invalid UTF-8 characters from the environment so that your app doesn't choke on them. This prevents errors like "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8".
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'utf8-cleaner'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install utf8-cleaner
If you're not running Rails, you'll have to add the middleware to your config.ru:
require 'utf8-cleaner'
use UTF8Cleaner::Middleware
Usage
There's nothing to "use". It just works!
