Hello,

In ruby versions earlier than Ruby 3.0 / Ruby 3000, was there a standard 
text encoding or was it per-platform?  Here is an example from Windows 
running Ruby 2.6.8 without the RUBYOPT=Eutf-8 option shows the following:

irb(main):001:0> 'hi'.encoding
=> #<Encoding:IBM437>
irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "2.6.8"

Running the same commands in irb on Slackware Linux 14.2 without UTF-8 
enabled gives the following result:

irb(main):001:0> 'hi'.encoding
=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>
irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "2.2.5"

Thanks.
