I think that means your display device doesn’t understand the
characters–not that ruby is unable to retrieve those filenames. For
instance, if I have a file named:

ááá.txt

in the current directory, and I write:

arr = Dir[’*’]
puts arr

I get:

…
…
ááá.txt
…
…

My terminal can display utf-8 encoded characters.
