Subject: [ruby-core:25241] [Bug #2026] String encodings are not supported by most of IO on Linux

Issue #2026 has been updated by Vit Ondruch.


Actually it is simpler from Ruby point of view, since if you want to cover all the cases you named, it is enough to use UTF-16 functionality and everybody will be just happy. The only question is how to ensure that string coming from Ruby, in whatever encoding, will be automatically converted into UTF-16. You really don't want to care about this conversion explicitly.

And the same apply also for Unix, where the filesystem encoding should be used automatically, as long as different encoding is not enforced explicitly in some special cases.
