Store strings with special characters as enum values in Rails 5

Question

In Rails 5, the enum value type can only accept symbols, ie immutable "strings" with letters and digits.

How would you best use enum values in Rails, which have to be shown also with their special characters like eg 'Hip-Hop/Rap' included in the enum field genre ?

Answer 1

如果符号文本包含特殊字符，则可以在符号文本周围使用引号。

[:classical, :pop, :'Hip-Hop/Rap']
