Subject: Readline differences from 1.9.2 to 1.9.3?

Here's my test program:
----------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'readline'

ans = Readline.readline("? ", false)
puts ans
puts ans. length
----------------------------------------------
and here's my test session with Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.9.3

11:00 cards:>rvm use 1.9.2
Using /Users/bryanloc/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p320
11:00 cards:>./tester.rb 
? 出
出
1
11:00 cards:>rvm use 1.9.3
Using /Users/bryanloc/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392
11:01 cards:>./tester.rb 
? \U+FFE5\U+FFBA

OK, am I doing something wrong, or do I need to do something special to get Chinese characters?
A simple call of gets(), i.e. not using readline, works fine, and returns the Chinese character.

Thanks in advance,

Bryan
