Well, spend a little time in the PerlMonks Chatterbox and you'll learn something ...

To answer my question above, see charnames:

"Pragma use charnames is used to gain access to the names of the Unicode characters and named character sequences ..."

"Starting in Perl v5.16, any occurrence of \N{CHARNAME} sequences in a double-quotish string automatically loads this module ..."

Thanks choroba for pointing to this pragma.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
