You use single quotes for the second parameter, so it doesn't do any
substitutions. Thus, you can just write:

"(hello)".gsub(/\(/,'\(')

Note that if you just type that into irb, it will show you two slashes
because it outputs with the escapes. This will show you what it really
is:

puts "(hello)".gsub(/\(/,'\(')
