Why am I not allow to rake my seeds.rb file when I have the following ± character somewhere in my code?

Example:

:product_name => 'lenovo G570 NoteBook 15.6" 3GB Memory DDR3 500GB HDD DVD±R/RW'

While its running I suddenly get:

Invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
...3GB Memory DDR3 500GB HDD DVD┬▒R/RW',
... 

Taking away the character solves everything, I even can add it normally in my application and it ends up in the database with all characters and no problems.

Why is this?

Thank you.

    Seems to me that you should ensure that seeds.rb is saved with the correct encoding. Presumably UTF-8. Also check out this answer.
