in reply to Perl script to transform XX-encoding to UTF-8

$string =~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;

Update: The CGI module seems to do this transformation correctly. Since it appears you're writing a CGI script, perhaps that module would be useful.

    I'm aware of this regex but it doesn't work with extended unicode character sets. At least, it didn't work with the accented ancient Greek characters (1F00-1FFF) that I am interested in.
