Welcome to the world of character encodings

That is the symptom of the use of different character encodings.
I suppose, by the look of it, that you sent a string in Unicode. The receiving application either didn't interpret it as Unicode or is not able to render it on screen.

I tried it with Xchat, Seamonkey Composer, Opera, DimSum and Unipad. (All written with different toolkits, but Windows application nonetheless.) They exhibit the same symptoms. I'm 100% certain they are unicode capable. I exchange unicode characters freely and without problem among those applications. The problem must be with the Perl program.	[reply]

Well, then, maybe it comes from Win32::GuiTest, which is not explicitly described as Unicode compliant. Since you're using the utf8 module, you can try (untested) : `SendKeys(utf8::upgrade('$your_string'));` [download] Hope this works.	[reply] [d/l]
