Issues

On Yosemite I've encountered a problem with irb and pry : when I use and accent char like é this appears like unicode \U+FFC3\U+FFA9.

To fix this, I installed readline :

brew install readline

Remove ruby install ( 2.2.2 in my case ) :

rm -rf ~/.rubies/ruby-2.2.2

Reinstall ruby 2.2.2

ruby-build 2.2.2 ~/.rubies/ruby-2.2.2

Ruby-build will automatically detect and use readline to enable UTF-8 input.
