in reply to Welcome to the world of character encodings
in thread (Windows) insert text at cursor in non-owned window

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.

    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'));

    Hope this works.
