I am writing a simple script to update a table data.
I am unable to get a record trough a field named “Agliè”; the problem is “è”.

c = Comune.find_by_denominazione_italiano_tedesco('Agliè')

I realised that the problem can be patched using “Aglie”, but I need to preserve the accent difference (these are town names, some are the same, except of the accent).

My db character set is UTF-8, the collation is latin1_swedish_ci; however, changing it to utf8_general_ci makes no difference. My ruby script is in utf-8; I tried changing it to latin1 as well, no difference again.

Any suggestion?

Cheers,

Davide
