Displaying unicode braille

Hi,

When manually submit unicode braille characters (â ?) to my Rails
application, they’re nicely displayed, at least in Firefox.

However, I’d like to be able to print some static braille chars from
Rails.
This fails when I save the file as UTF-8.
Rails then gives a “parse error, unexpected kEND, expecting $”

How can I store those chars properly? Or where do I have to look to be
able to proceed?

Thanks
Gijs
