Description

I’m trying to build a cross-platform portable application with Ruby onboard and there is a problem on Windows.
A user usually installs it to the Roaming folder which sits inside a user folder which can often have not a Latin name or contain spaces).
When there is a Cyrillic character (maybe just not Latin) in the path — require of any gem doesn’t work:

D:\users\киї\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby -v
ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [x64-mingw32]

D:\users\киї\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby -e "require 'logger'"
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from <internal:gem_prelude>:2:in `<internal:gem_prelude>'

D:\users\киї\Ruby\2.6\bin>ruby --disable=rubyopt -e "require 'logger'"

We can see such encoding transformations in the output:

киї (utf-8) == РєРёС— (win1251)

I have an old Ruby installation that works fine:

D:\users\киї\Ruby\2.0\bin>ruby -e "require 'logger'"

D:\users\киї\Ruby\2.0\bin>ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p451 (2014-02-24) [i386-mingw32]

The same is for ruby 2.0.0p643 (2015-02-25) [i386-mingw32] .

I also checked that require fails in the same case for
ruby 2.1.9p490 (2016-03-30 revision 54437) [i386-mingw32]
