Did you try my suggestion or not?

It might help if you could post the exact ruby version. (what does
ruby -v output?)

"it doesn't work" gives me very little information to go on. What doesn't work?

Please post a (hopefully short!) script which demonstrates the problem
you're having.

I don't see any mention of a cp866 charset in ruby sources, so you
might just be SOL there.

Looks like this table gets added to by encoding-related extensions, so
you might have to require them before it gets the stuff you want in
it.
