Hi ! I have a text file (iso.txt), encoded in ISO-8859-15, with the following word and characters : 
Crèvecœur
Œ
Æ
æ

[download]
I would like to encode it in UTF8, with the perl script below (perl v5.10.1) : 
use Encode;

open(my $iso,'<:encoding(iso-8859-15)','iso.txt');
open(my $utf,'>:utf8','utf.txt');

while(<$iso>){
    print $utf $_;
}

close($utf);
close($iso);

[download]
But in the output file (utf.txt), the œ ligature is encoded "0xC2 0x9C" (and thus is not printed) instead of "0xC5 0x93" ! The same for the Œ. But other ligatures (Æ et æ) are properly encoded ! Where is the bug ? Thanks !
