Starting from Ruby 1.9.3 Patchlevel 0 the accented characters are not 
well handled into IRB

>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.9.3"
>> RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
=> 0
>> puts "Cédric"
Cédric
=> nil

>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.9.3"
>> RUBY_PATCHLEVEL
=> 327
=> puts "C\U+FFC3\U+FFA9dric"
Cdric
=> nil

Note : "\U+FFC3\U+FFA9" is what I'm getting when I try to enter "é"

This is also a problem in Pry, so maybe something changed in Readline?

It should be
  puts "C\u00e9dric"

I tihnk you're misundestanding this issue.

If I type "æ" in an IRB session this is inserted instead:
"\U+FFC3\U+FFA6". It just magically appears. But it doesn't seem to be
actual characters that IRB sees. I only need to press backspace
*twice* to get rid of everything. And if I press Enter, it just gets
ignored by IRB.

Ah, I see what you are saying.
It is because you are using irb with editline, not readline.

irb(main):001:0> Readline::VERSION
=> "EditLine wrapper"

You must specify --with-readline-dir on configure.
