"J\u00E9r\u00E9my".encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8> "J\u00E9r\u00E9my".each_codepoint.to_a #=> [74, 233, 114, 233, 109, 121]
The strings are perfectly fine. They contain the correct bytes and have the correct encoding.
They are printed this way because your external encoding is set to (or recognised as) US-ASCII:
Encoding.default_external #=> #<Encoding:US_ASCII>
Ruby assumes that your terminal can only render ASCII characters and therefore prints UTF-8 characters using escape sequences. (when using p / String#inspect)
The external encoding is usually determined automatically based on your locale:
$ LANG=C ruby -e 'p Encoding.default_external'
#<Encoding:US-ASCII>
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ruby -e 'p Encoding.default_external'
#<Encoding:UTF-8>
Setting your terminal's or system's encoding / locale to UTF-8 should fix the problem.

For future visitors: note that String#codepoints is shorthand for
str.each_codepoint.to_a. The result will be the same either way.Indeed, it came from my terminal settings. Despite the fact that WSL' terminal says it's using UTF-8, running the script from another terminal prints the accentuated characters properly. I'll investigate WSL settings, thanks for guiding me to the right direction !
