It's spec.
Its mechanism is, \W includes U+FB00 (LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF).
/i option expands it into FF.
The the "FF" match given string.

 Hi all,
 
 Josh Bassett and I just discovered an issue with regex matches on ruby-1.9.2p0. (We reduced it while we were hacking on gemcutter.)
 
 The case-insensitive (/i) option together with the non-word character class (\W) match inconsistently against the alphabet. Specifically the regex doesn't match properly against the letters 'k' and 's'.
 
 The following expression demonstrates the problem in irb:
 
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[^\W]/i] ].inspect }
 
 As a reference, the following two expressions are working properly:
 
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[^\W]/] ].inspect }
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[\w]/i] ].inspect }
 
 Cheers
 Ben Hoskings & Josh Bassett
