Add the utf8_sanitizer.rb to your Rails 3.2 project in app/middleware. Instead of removing the invalid request characters and continuing the request (as some gems do) it returns a 400 error.
Add the following line to your config/application.rb:
config.middleware.use 'Utf8Sanitizer'
If you only need it in production add to config/environments/production.rb. This can be without quotes:
config.middleware.use Utf8Sanitizer
