Re^3: ASCII encoded unicode strings on web, such as \u00F3

Is your STDOUT in UTF-8 mode? (as in binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(utf-8), for example). That's the way to get 'normal Unicode' in Perl. Does this work for you:

my $str = 'encontr\u00e9 configuraci\u00f3n v\u00e1lidod';
$str =~ s/ \\u ( \p{Hex}{4} ) / chr hex $1 /gex;
binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(utf-8)';
print $str, "\n";

Thanx, I did `'use utf8;'`, but `binmode`, fixed my problem. I am still struggling to understand unicode concepts. :(. With `binmode`, it works using ether `hex` or `eval`, also, I've tried `pack('U', hex $1)`, it works. For some reason, I thought, `pack 'U'`, takes hex digits as an argument, but actually I've had to convert it to decimal, because `pack('U', $1)` didn't work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
