different version seems to behave differently. my v5.6.0 never warn me about
it. my v5.8.2 does emit a warning. you can turn it off by saying:
[panda]# perl -mbytes=no -e 'print "\x{2660}\n"'
there is a long discussion about what Perl should do when it encounters a
byte sequence which is different than the current C local. should it
upgrade to UTF-8 silently? should it warn? if the current C local is not
UTF-8 then what? you can check the p5p list for the discussion.
