Re^2: em and en dash problem

hi, I have tried the same but i am not able to enter the char en and en dash. If i am trying to enter those chars it's displaying as dot. And the code which i have tried is:

use charnames ':full'; /\N{EM DASH}/;
use utf8;
$a=".";
if($a =~/\x{2014}/)
{
print "Found";
}
else
{
print "Not Found";
}

Are you using a utf-8-capable editor? Is the editor using a utf-8-capable font?	[reply]

hi, I don't know. But i am using normal vi editor of Linux Os. How to check weather a editor is utf-8 char or not. Thanks	[reply]

Current Linux distributions are UTF-8 capable, and Vim is likewise. That's not the end of the story, however. You also need to make sure you're using a font that has definitions for the glyphs you are going to use. My suggestion is to visit the UTF-8 FAQ and then you'll have a much better background in character encoding.	[reply]

You can use \x and \N in double-quoted literals too, if you donj't want to struggle with your editor.	[reply]
