Before database creation, set

Name: some_db_name
Character Set: cp932
Collation: cp932_japanese_ci

if you use MySQL database

3

or try

Character Set: eucjpms
Collation: eucjpms_japanese_ci

I think it is better

read about symbols coding on: EUC - Wikipedia

database.yml don’t have any sections about charset support

You need at each section and key database values
change for name your MySQL database name

for example in mysql console create database:

mysql> create database test_db;

development:
adapter: mysql
database: test_db
username: root
password:
host: localhost

test:
adapter: mysql
database: test_db
username: root
password:
host: localhost

production:
adapter: mysql
database: test_db
username: root
password:
host: localhost
