Add “# coding: utf-8” to all files

Question

Can I somehow configure Rails to avoid the need to add # coding: utf-8 to all files? Or must I add it to each file manually?

In a rails application you can specify the default chracter encoding in your application config.

Add the following code inside the Application class in in config/application.rb

Looks something like:

# Configure the default encoding used in templates for Ruby 1.9.
config.encoding = "utf-8"
