in reply to Perl: How to convert db2 utf8 czech special character to latex format

Hi zimso,

Could you show the output of use Devel::Peek; Dump($lastname); ? (Where $lastname is the variable holding the string in question)

Update: TeX::Encode::charmap does appear to contain a mapping chr(0x0161) => "\\vs", # š.

Regards,
