tidy_bytes

v7.2.3 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Unicode

tidy_bytes(string, force = false)

public

Replaces all ISO-8859-1 or CP1252 characters by their UTF-8 equivalent resulting in a valid UTF-8 string.

Passing true will forcibly tidy all bytes, assuming that the string’s encoding is entirely CP1252 or ISO-8859-1.
