Subject: Re: Short question about encoding.

Yup I'm on Windows 7.

About PowerShell: I tried the classic PowerShell.exe which printed out
the same weird characters so I tried "type .\test.rb" and that gave an
error so I Googled about PowerShell and Unicode and read that the
PowerShell ISE supports Unicode SO I tried that one: "type .\test.rb"
works fine and displays the character well, but "ruby .\test.rb"
(1.9.2p0) prints the weird characters again.

Any more suggestions, please?

Powershell ISE log:
