Encofing problems

[AlexVPopov]

When I try to import a UTF-8 encoded CSV file containing Cyrillic characters, I get this error:
Encoding::UndefinedConversionError in Admin::ShareholdersController#import_csv

"\xD0" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8

I ran into something similar:

From the console:

>> hash[:name]
=> "Gr\xC3\xBCnes St\xC3\xBChlchen"
>> hash[:name].force_encoding('UTF-8')
=> "Grünes Stühlchen"

So I will now iterate through my hash and force-encode all values like described above.
