MRI currently supports UTF-8 symbols:

x = :"\u{3042}" # => :あ

However, JRuby always treats symbols as US-ASCII, resulting in things like encoding errors when trying to inspect one:

> x = :"\u{3042}"
ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
from org/jruby/RubySymbol.java:221:in `inspect'

This is a source of a number of errors in the new stdlib test suite.

For some reason I think we have an issue for this but I don't see it offhand :)

This is fixed on 1.7 now but we also need equivalent changes on master. We might try and more elegantly do this on master. Leaving open for now.
