cp65001 is UTF-8, so that's good. What do you expect instead of `<╫ö╫ó╫¿╫│11>`? It would also be good to have the input and output in hex form.	[reply]

It seems that it's not a Perl problem. I have a wide-character text file that looks fine in Notepad ("UTF-8 encoding"), in Notepad++, and when I cut-and-paste into MS Word it looks fine too. But when I open a "DOS box" (Windows console) and go: "type file.txt", it prints gibberish. And yes, I did all the recommendations for Unicode on Windows console: I opened the console using "cmd /u", I changed the font to Lucida, and I've entered: "chcp 65001".	[reply]

The windows console does not play along with Unicode. you might want to check Printing Unicode on the Windows Console and the importance of of i/o layers for more information	[reply]

If the file is UTF-8 and the chcp is 65001, it should work. What do you get from `perl -CS -E"say map chr, 0x2660, 0x100;"` [download] You should get the following (like I do) `♠Ā` Is cygwin involved at all? (e.g. Are you using the `bash` shell?) What do you expect to get instead of `<╫ö╫ó╫¿╫│11>`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
