incompatible character encodings

Question

In normal way the request is coming like this way

Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "status_id"=>"12686"}

other than, from one client the requst coming like this way

Parameters: {"utf8"=>"\xE2??", "status_id"=>"12686"}

So this time i am getting this error "ActionView::Template::Error (incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT)", from client browser, so i am bit confused, where this is happening actually, one place is

    <%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => 
    session_path(resource_name), html: { class: "signup" }) do |f| %>

is there any issues with clients browser? in these two statements, what will be the most change to occur this?

will this solution Ruby on Rails "invalid byte sequence in UTF-8" due to bot solve this problem?

Is it just one client with this error or everybody? – Uzbekjon Jun 23 '16 at 13:11 — Uzbekjon, Jun 23 '16 at 13:11
Yes this is happening only from one client at night – Developer Jun 23 '16 at 18:44 — Developer, Jun 23 '16 at 18:44

If it is not happening to all of your users and from your comment it seems to be a single client at night, then I wouldn't worry about it.

From your log message, it is clear that the "client" does not support utf-8 encoding. Most probably it is some crawler.

Since it is client side support, there is not much you can do about it. So don't worry about it.

Thanks, in the log it shows like this also cache error: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 – Developer Jun 23 '16 at 18:56

That might help, but I'd prefer to see them in my logs and know about them. – Uzbekjon Jun 25 '16 at 09:14
