Subject: [ruby-core:61908] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9712] Dir.entries replace Unicode character with questionmarks

Issue #9712 has been updated by Thomas Thomassen.


Additional info:

I've made the RB files have `# encoding: UTF-8` and set `-E UTF-8:UTF-8` which from my understanding of the documentation should affect the encoding returned by `Dir`:

~~~
 * call-seq:
 *   Encoding.default_internal -> enc
 *
 * Returns default internal encoding.  Strings will be transcoded to the
 * default internal encoding in the following places if the default internal
 * encoding is not nil:
 *
 * * File names from Dir
~~~

But I'm not seeing this behaviour.

* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
My basis when testing this is that I have a computer with English OS - codepage Windows-1252. The tests might yield different result if the Windows codepage is different - so please pay attention to that if you are unable to reproduce.

Given a folder named "Foo" which contains a sub-folder "���������" ("\u3066\u3059\u3068") Dir.entries("Foo") will return:
[".", "..", "???"]

The characters that doesn't fit my filesystem codepage is translated into question marks.

I would have expected the strings returned to be in some Unicode format.
