If I compose a short line of text in my gedit (Linux equivalent for Notepad).

Nüne istá baßt alongnöw.

and I use the simple code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# legaget.pl

use strict;

my $filename = "ligatext.txt";

open FILE, "<", $filename or die $1;

while( my $line = <FILE> ) {
    
    print $line;

}

close(FILE);

My terminal does in fact show those ligatures. However, to grab a webpage.html off the web, that I might add is not W3.org compliant; they don't use the meta line encoding='iso-xxxx-x'> The browser shows the ligatures, the file saved of that webpage will show the ligatures in gedit word processor, but... the same code above will throw in the < ? > symbol with print to Terminal.

I might add I have fought this same thing with MSWord files, as MS puts the Unicode country code in the first byte of their Word.doc format as a hex.

Yes, I've read binmode <STDOUT> description, they don't show an example. Can you give me a short snippet, let me try it???? Maybe, Open a file, read a line at a time to print to Terminal?
