[ivanovaleksey]

Hi. I am getting this U+2019 from UTF-8 to US-ASCII error when I am trying to update description field in my object. This field has Clob type ib DB (dont know if it does matter).

I am using ruby 2.3.1.

Can you help to figure it out, please?

Thank you.

Could you set the environment variable NLS_LANG?

[ivanovaleksey]

Thank you, @kubo. It solves the issue. I have set NLS_LANG like export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8.

Sorry for yet another NLS_LANG issue. As you answered it I found similar issues.
