These symbols don't appear in the Ruby source, nor are they defined when I look for them:
$ rvm 1.9.3-p374 do irb
1.9.3p374 :003 > Symbol.all_symbols.map(&:to_s).grep(/^w\d/)
=> []
Have you got your irb configured to load any extensions? Look in your .irbrc, if you have one.
Those symbols are commonly found in, among other places, readline libraries. irb uses readline. Perhaps there's something special about readline on Windows (it being coded in Ruby, for example) that causes those symbols to be defined.
