Do you mean this: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/2/ ?

tryruby.hobix.com was one of _why's resources.

It's currently being resurrected: http://github.com/Sophrinix/TryRuby

Both the links listed on GitHub are currently unavailable, however.

Is that irb on your own PC? If so, it seems to be a language issue.
The Windows OneClickInstaller provides a setting during its setup to 
support European keyboards. Maybe that'll help you, too?

I'm not the RubyInstaller (a new effort to provide Ruby for Windows 
systems) seems to have no problem with other language settings (As far 
as I can see, anyway).

Otherwise, you'd have to figure out the locale settings for your system, 
and see what they are, and if you can find a Ruby package that works for 
your locale.
