I don’t know what’s your concrete problem. Maybe you could try to write:

encoding: utf-8

at the beginning of the ruby file. Source:

Hello,

I see that shebang:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

doesn’t work if not on the first line. Same goes for UTF-8:

encoding: utf-8

needs to be the first one to get accepted.

Is there a way to combine both? To avoid having program.rb ? I like more
‘program’ + shebang.

Best Regards

This is incorrect. If the first line of the file is a shebang line, the
encoding line may follow it on the second line.

Yes, put the shebang line first and follow it with the encoding line.

Hello,

Yes you’re write, it must be in the 2nd line though, if it’s in the 3rd
like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

encoding: UTF-8

Doesn’t work :slight_smile:

must be:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

encoding: UTF-8

thanks :slight_smile:
