Composer says ???? when trying to install

I recently installed the PHP Composer dependency manager, however, now when I try to run the command php composer.phar install it simply outputs ????. There is a composer.json file in the same directory, but I can't get it to work.

The contents of my composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "cboden/Ratchet": "0.2.*"
    }
}

If I try adding -v to the command (php composer.phar install -v) like suggested in the comments, it still says the same thing.

What do I do?

I actually managed to fix this problem with a similar solution to Mantas's below.

In his answer, you just add detect_unicode, but I managed to get it to work for me with this command:

php -d detect_unicode=Off -d suhosin.executor.include.whitelist=phar composer.phar install

When I installed Composer I also had to put these both in, so I guess you need to whenever you run the file...

php composer.phar diagnose

It's a system sanity check function. It may report your issue.
