    Even without reading the code, you can prepend use strict; and run it; and Perl will tell you:
    Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at ./3o +.pl line 25.

    So, here:

    next if(exists $$href{$word}{written});
    لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ

      ok, so $$href{$word} is not a hashref , its a string... so it can't have an written key :)
