Subject: [ruby-core:64111] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9712] [Assigned] Dir.entries replace Unicode character with questionmarks

Issue #9712 has been updated by Zachary Scott.

Status changed from Closed to Assigned
Backport changed from 2.0.0: DONTNEED, 2.1: DONTNEED to 2.0.0: REQUIRED, 2.1: DONTNEED

In that case, we need to ask for a backport of r42058; this must be done by usa the maintainer of 2.0 series.

Thank you for the report.

* Target version: current: 2.2.0
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0dev (2014-04-07 trunk 45528) [i386-mswin32_100]
* Backport: 2.0.0: REQUIRED, 2.1: DONTNEED
----------------------------------------
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.
