Hi Guys,

I need to be able to show the chars in the title properly in irb however right now it displays only ?? instead.
OS: Centos 7, but the same thing happens on Centos 6.5
The encoding of the OS is set to hu_HU.utf8
I also tried to encoding external, and encoding internal in .jrubyrc to UTF-8 and 8859-2 but the issue is still the same.
I tried ruby 2.1.5 and this issue is not present there. It shows the chars properly.

Is this a bug?

Can you try a JRuby 9k nightly please? I was able to print out multibyte characters ok on OS X with your LANG setting.

On OS X it works for me too, even with 1.7.16 and 1.7.16.1 but on Centos 6, 7 it doesn't.
I've just tried it with jRuby 9k but the issue is the same on Centos.

This is my local output on Centos:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: Nincs ilyen f?jl vagy k?nyvt?r LANG=hu_HU.utf8 LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="hu_HU.utf8" LC_TIME="hu_HU.utf8" LC_COLLATE="hu_HU.utf8" LC_MONETARY="hu_HU.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="hu_HU.utf8" LC_PAPER="hu_HU.utf8" LC_NAME="hu_HU.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="hu_HU.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="hu_HU.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="hu_HU.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="hu_HU.utf8" LC_ALL=

Ok. Problem solved.
Needed to put this inside /etc/environment
LC_ALL=hu_HU.utf8
LANG=hu_HU.utf8

So there's still a bug here...we're not adequately determining your locale.

I believe we're just using the JVM's own locale detection for this, so it's possible the JVM is actually to blame.

A few points...

  1. You needed both of those env vars for it to work?
  2. Can you please provide a full text capture of your IRB session and ENV (suitably scrubbed of sensitive data)?

If we have a behavioral difference from MRI, we need to figure it out.

No followup since 2016, but likely fixed by @enebo's symbol work last year. Calling it invalid, since there were other more specific bugs also fixed by that work.
