UTF-8 Encoding and Ruby - ERROR: "\xC3" on US-ASCII

While running blue_hydra I got this error:
I'm not sure but it seems that a device is using a special char.

In my testing this happens when the system running blue_hydra is improperly configured to support utf-8. That said, patches welcome if there is a way to fix it on our end.

Thank you. I manage to solve with this commands

sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen en en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
export LC_ALL = "en_US"
