Probably the issue is caused by rbpdf.

I have confirmed that the reported mojibake is reproducible when rbpdf 1.19.4 or later is installed. The copied text was pasted propery when I updated Gemfile as follows:

diff --git a/Gemfile b/Gemfile
index 354adc747..258b4516a 100644

 # Windows does not include zoneinfo files, so bundle the tzinfo-data gem
 gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :x64_mingw, :mswin]

Please note that the above workaround causes other problems such as #28565 and #28125.
