Re: Parse a special symbol

in reply to Parse a special symbol

You have to provide more information in order for any of us to be able to respond.

From where does the string come from?

a file? (the encoding is UTF-8, iso-8859-1, ...?);
user input?;
embeded in the source of the script? (a label maybe?);

The operating system you use?

Regards, Stefan

Have you read perlunitut yet? Also, perlunifaq points out Can I use Unicode in my Perl sources?. I recommend not to use Unicode characters in your source code but to use the hex escapes for that (or the names).	[reply]

Set your text editor to save things as utf-8 (if not already set so) `use utf8;` set your output encoding correctly: `binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(utf-8)");` The rest depends on your terminal.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
