in thread Problem with escape sequence \x for hex with spaces "\x{ 263A }"

the interactive debugger is redirecting STDOUT with every eval. You need to do it inline

Aha...

  DB<1> binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; print "\x{263A}"                               
☺
  DB<2>

Endlich erlungen. Vielen Dank....
