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"; }` [download] Thanks	[reply] [d/l]

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

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