Author: davispuh (Dāvis Mosāns)
Status: Third Party's Issue
Priority: Normal
Assignee: cruby-windows
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14) [x64-mingw32]
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN


=begin
for example code

  #!/usr/bin/env ruby
  #encoding: utf-8
  print "testing ā"


when open CMD with changed encoding ie. ((%chcp 1257%))

it wont correctly output ((*ā*)) even that encoding and console does support it.

also if we change console's encoding to utf-8 with ((%chcp 65001%))
both Ruby versions (1.9 and 2.0) will crash (see attachment)

=end
