in reply to Re: Converting UTF-16 files to UTF-8
in thread Converting UTF-16 files to UTF-8

then I'm puzzled about the data you have created

Well it seems you have a very good eye. :-) That was a typo on my behalf, it is actually FF FE 14 01 14 01 14 01 ...

Ill update my original node.

      There was some bug in Ultraedit that lead to my confusion. When i used debug I got the correct response, and when i upgraded UE the bogus error went away. So it was just a phantom bug and not a perl problem at all. Thanks v. much for your help.
