I'm unable to work in a directory with a Russian name.
Running bundle exec ... returns an error from Bundler saying that it couldn't locate the Gemfile (which is present)

# print current directory
> echo %CD%
=> D:\Евгений

# print contents at root
> ls
=> 404.html  Gemfile  _config.yml  _posts  about.markdown  index.markdown

# List dependencies via Bundler
> bundle show
=> Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory

# Debug in IRB
> irb
irb(main):001:0> Dir.pwd
=> "D:/???????"

This appears to be fixed starting in Ruby 2.5 (also works in 2.6, 2.7, and 3.0):

C:\>C:\Ruby24-x64\bin\gem list bundler

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bundler (2.2.20)

C:\>C:\Ruby25-x64\bin\gem list bundler

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

bundler (2.2.20)

D:\Евгений>C:\Ruby24-x64\bin\bundle show
