in thread utf weirdness in regex

Thanks, that looks a lot more like what I expected!

In the future, I will use the CHECK argument to see if something went wrong in the conversion. I hope that will lift some of my initial confusion as to what is in which charset...

    Of course, when using FB_CROAK as the CHECK argument, you normally want to wrap it in an eval: 
    my $encoding = "whatever";
my $octets = "characters in whatever encoding...";

eval '$_ = decode( $encoding, $octets, Encode::FB_CROAK )';

if( $@ ) {
    report_an_error();
    ...
}
