Subject: [ruby-core:104317] [Ruby master Bug#15993] 'require' doesn't work if there are Cyrillic chars in the path to Ruby dir

Issue #15993 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Closed

This appears to be fixed starting in Ruby 2.7 (also works in 3.0):

```
D:\��������������>C:\Ruby26-x64\bin\ruby -I D:\�������������� -e "require 'logger'"
Traceback (most recent call last):
        2: from -e:1:in `<main>'
        1: from C:/Ruby26-x64/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'
C:/Ruby26-x64/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': No such file or directory -- D:/�����������������������������/logger.rb (LoadError)

D:\��������������>C:\Ruby27-x64\bin\ruby -I D:\�������������� -e "require 'logger'"

D:\��������������>C:\Ruby30-x64\bin\ruby -I D:\�������������� -e "require 'logger'"
```

As Ruby 2.6 is in security maintenance mode, the change will not be backported.

----------------------------------------
I���m trying to build a cross-platform portable application with Ruby onboard and there is a problem on Windows. 
A user usually installs it to the Roaming folder which sits inside a user folder which can often have not a Latin name or contain spaces). 
When there is a Cyrillic character (maybe just not Latin) in the path ��� require of any gem doesn���t work:

```
D:\users\������\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby -v
ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [x64-mingw32]

D:\users\������\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby -e "require 'logger'"
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from <internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `<internal:gem_prelude>'
<internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `require': No such file or directory -- D:/users/�������������/Ruby/2.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems.rb (LoadError)

D:\users\������\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby --disable=rubyopt -e "require 'logger'"
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from <internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `<internal:gem_prelude>'
<internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `require': No such file or directory -- D:/users/�������������/Ruby/2.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems.rb (LoadError)

D:\users\������\Ruby\2.6\bin>gem list
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from <internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `<internal:gem_prelude>'
<internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `require': No such file or directory -- D:/users/�������������/Ruby/2.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems.rb (LoadError)

```

We can see such encoding transformations in the output:

```
������ (utf-8) == ������������� (win1251)
```

I have an old Ruby installation that works fine:

```
D:\users\������\Ruby\2.0\bin>ruby -e "require 'logger'"

D:\users\������\Ruby\2.0\bin>ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32]
```
The same is for `ruby 2.0.0p643 (2015-02-25) [i386-mingw32]` .

I also checked that require fails in the same case for
`ruby 2.1.9p490 (2016-03-30 revision 54437) [i386-mingw32]`
