Re^4: Mixed Unicode and ANSI string comparisons?

Plain "c" in ASCII is indistinguishable from the "c" in UTF-8.

I thought that the utf flag would distinguish strings that you've asked to be utf8 encoded; from those you haven't. Even if they both contain the same 7-bit codes.

If that's not the case; perl's Unicode support is even more broken than I thought.

In fact, all the 7-bit ASCII are part of the UTF-8.

And if the non-Unicode strings contain 8-bit chars?

And if the non-Unicode strings contain 8-bit chars? That's what I tried to demostrate with the `encode`, but apparently failed. The utf flag is an internal thing, you shouldn't care about it. If you're getting strings of mixed encodings from the data, fix the data or the input routines to unify the encoding.
