Could you please elaborate what you see.

You can copy paste from the console before and after.

    Yes, thanks.
    I started perl v5.38.0 from the commandline (cmd.exe or ps.exe) with perl -wde 1: 
    >perl -wde 1
Can't figure out your console, using stdin: No such file or directory

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.77
Editor support available.

Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'perldoc perldebug' for more help.

COLUMNS and LINES are set (120,30)
main::(-e:1):   1

    when i then enter some expression containing '§' at the prompt everything is echoed except the '§', which clears all my input.

      DB<1>x "abcdef and then entering '§' gives

      Hi

      Thanks.

      And sorry, I can only speculate about a "console" issue on win mistranslating "§"

      Since I don't have any Strawberry Perl running at the moment, I can't test.

      I remember using another (real) terminal than cmd.exe once, which was installed as an app.

      But I don't remember the name... ¹

      You may want to test running perl -de0 inside another console/terminal to narrow the origin of the problem.

        I crosschecked with perl 5.38.2 under bash in MingW64 shell (from git) and there the behavior is as expected, but alas this is not suitable for debugging my application.
