I tried the coding you provided, but I get the below output.

Çirçös
Çirçös—

If it helps, I am using Windows: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)

    My bad. I was thinking of Linux. How about this: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -l

use warnings;
use strict;
use Encode qw(encode_utf8);

$| = 1;

binmode STDIN, ":encoding(UTF-8)";

my $str = 'Çirçös';
$str = encode_utf8($str);
print "$str";

my $str1 = 'Çirçös—'; 
$str1 = encode_utf8($str1);

binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)";
print "$str1";

    I'm on Fedora, so I'm flying blind. Does that help?

      It still doesn't work.

      I tried the below coding as well, but to no avail.

      use open ':std' => ':locale'; # Error: Cannot figure out an encoding to use

      Windows doesn't seem to accept the above coding as well.

      Now, should I go about changing those characters to HTML entities in Microsoft Word itself and then try doing the conversion, in which case there shouldn't be any problem.

      But I am still hopeful there is another way
