Re^3: malformed UTF-8 character in JSON string in perl

I used the second one. It might be easier to use the names - in the following I input plain dash "-", en dash "–" and em dash "—" and the output is plain dash, plain dash, double plain dash:

"text - – —" input
"text - - --" output

It is not really a special symbol, it is an en dash.	[reply]
