The characters, “ and ”, are U+201C and U+201D. The numbers \342\200\234 and \342\200\235 are the octal values of the bytes that make up those characters.

Sorry, but this leaves out a very important bit: these are the bytes that make up the characters when encoded as UTF-8.

What he said :). In EBCDIC land you'd get something completely different: `$ perl -MData::Peek -wE'say $^O;DPeek ("\x{201c}"); DPeek ("\x{201d}") +' os390 PV("\312\101\160"\0) [UTF8 "\x{201c}"] PV("\312\101\161"\0) [UTF8 "\x{201d}"]` [download] Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]
