Today, this old gist helped me to solve this old problem:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27944875/error-while-installing-gem-on-windows-8-incompatible-character-encoding

And I don't even know Ruby. Thank you very much!

PS. The problem (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4270) still seems to exist, at least on Windows, and it seems resolv-idn is not supported anymore. Maybe the issue should be opened again?

Thank you, 6 year old gist!!!!!!!!!
