~~~
name = Etc.getlogin # I've Windows username "D��vis"
puts name           # D���vis
puts name.inspect   # "D\xE2vis"
puts name.encoding  # ASCII-8BIT
name.force_encoding('Windows-1257')
puts name           # D��vis
~~~

As you can see \xE2 isn't "��" in ASCII, but it is for Windws-1257 encoding.
