Subject: [ruby-core:66210] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10493] Wrong encoding for	Etc.getlogin in Windows

Issue #10493 has been updated by D��vis Mos��ns.


Thanks, that was surprisingly easy. Only trunk didn't build so I compiled from ruby_2_1 branch and cherry-picked r48360, r48364
Now I can confirm that patch works.

```ruby
name = Etc.getlogin
puts name.inspect   # "D\u0101vis"
puts name.encoding  # UTF-8
```


But looks like encoding for string outputting have been broken somewhere (I hope it's fixed in some commits not yet merged in this branch)

```ruby
puts "\u0101"
=> ��   # on released Ruby 2.1.4p265
=> ��?  # on 2.1.5p272, I just compiled from ruby_2_1 branch
```

It used to be that when outputting string it's encoded to `Encoding.default_external`, but that's not the case for this.

~~~ruby
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.
