For Ruby 1.8, this initialization sets $KCODE to ‘u’ to enable the multibyte safe operations. Plugin authors supporting other encodings should override this behaviour and set the relevant default_charset on ActionController::Base.

For Ruby 1.9, this does nothing. Specify the default encoding in the Ruby shebang line if you don’t want UTF-8.

  $KCODE='u' if RUBY_VERSION < '1.9'
