These are the lines available in my txt file.

f= File.open(filename)
f.each do |line|
   puts line
end

Using the above code am reading the file and print the data.

It doesn't happen on me. I am afraid that it's caused by encoding
mismatch, perhaps either your data or your console do not set to
UTF-8.

While running the same code in SCITE editor it is working fine. Am using
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]. For more

I believe your console lacks ability to print UTF-8 characters. Even
simple 'type sample.txt' can cause your "problem". So it's not Ruby's
fault at all.
