Can not transliterate strings with CP850 encoding

For my Blog App I use FriendlyId to generate slugs.

In irb post creation process following message appears:

ArgumentError (Can not transliterate strings with CP850 encoding)

I found out that the error appears because of a space between words in the title only, so it probably has something to do with friendly_id.

I develop on Windows 10

Encoding.default_internal = #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Encoding.default_external = #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Encoding.locale_charmap = "CP850"

I would like to use FriendlyId but also be able to use spaces in post title. Any ideas?

What kind of spaces do you have in the titles? Are these `0x20` spaces only? – user1934428 May 04 '20 at 11:48
`string.bytes` delivers `32` in decimal, which ist `20` in hex, so yes should be only the 0x20s – Ilya Bychkov May 05 '20 at 13:24
