What I'm wondering, though, is if there's ever a situation where `encode('utf8', decode('Latin-1', $_))` [download] produces different output from `encode('utf8', $_)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, for example: `$_ = decode('utf-8', "\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE}"); say encode('utf8', $_); # Replacement character EF +BFBD. say encode('utf8', decode('Latin-1', $_)); # Dies.` [download] ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Fine. If the `decode` doesn't die, does it ever produce different output? (One might argue that call that dies doesn't produce any output, and therefore does not produce different output, but whatever.)	[reply]
