Unpacking how? There are various templates you can use.

Update:

Yes, that's it:

#! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };
use Encode;


my $s = encode('UTF-8', "\N{MIDDLE DOT}");
say join ' ', unpack "C*", $s;

I unpacked with "unpack ('C*', $_);"

Hmm... in Notepad++ when the encoding is set to utf-8, it looks okay (a weird floating decimal point), but if I switch to ansi, then I see circumflex A + weird decimal point, which is what perl is outputting when it comes across this value.

Sigh - I hate encoding issues - the IRQs of today.

It's worse. IRQs are/were a necessary evil; Unicrap on the other hand is stupid by design.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Hmm... well, I struggled to get perl to interpret the rogue characters in a meaningful way, but this regex fixed them:

$value =~ s/\302\267/\./;
