2.6.3 :049 > 'SHOP' =~ /[xo]/i
 => 2
2.6.3 :050 > 'CAFÉ' =~ /[é]/i
 => 3
2.6.3 :051 > 'CAFÉ' =~ /[xé]/i
 => nil
2.6.3 :052 > 'CAFÉ' =~ /[xÉ]/i
 => 3

Expected result: 
 2.6.3 :051 > 'CAFÉ' =~ /[xé]/i 
=> 3

I tested it on random regex online pages.

It does not match on https://regex101.com/

It matches on:

https://regexr.com/
https://www.regextester.com/
https://www.freeformatter.com/regex-tester.html

(Ignore case turned on).

The reason I suppose it’s more like a bug than a feature is the fact that /[é]/i matches 'CAFÉ'. If the //i didn’t work for UTF-8 characters then the /[é]/i wouldn’t match it either. For example, [é] does not match 'CAFÉ' on https://regex101.com/

I could not find a page or a system that behaves the same way as Ruby does. For example, it matches in PostgreSQL 10 (under FreeBSD 12) too:

# select 'CAFÉ'~ '[xé]';
 ?column?
----------
 f
(1 row)

# select 'CAFÉ' ~* '[xé]';
 ?column?
----------
 t
(1 row)

Tested it in IRB on macOS and FreeBSD.
