Topic: Encoding problem when reading file.xml

Hi,

I'm running 

C:\tmp\dubbel>jruby -v
jruby 1.7.2 (1.9.3p327) 2013-01-04 302c706 on Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_33-b03 [Windows 7-x86]

I've problem parsing xml files on disk.

/path/to/file.xml (is created in notepad++ and is utf-8 encoded)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>LÖök</root>

From CMD

puts open('/path/to/file.xml').read
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>L├û├Âk</root>

This cause problem when I load the file into Nokogiri
Nokogiri::XML open('/path/to/file.xml').read

I've also tried

Encoding.default_external = 'utf-8'
File.open(fpath, 'r:utf-8') do |f|
  puts f.read
end

but I still have an encoding problem

Any suggestions on how to solve this appriciated

thanks
-Dan
