Dear Enrique, This does not work either. Here are the results I get with the input: »Tjuvgömmare!» säga skatorna och se ut som samvetet självt. »Vi äro
1/ What the correct output should be (I get this output when I remove the û character from the tr// list): Tjuvgömmare ! säga skatorna och se ut som samvetet självt . Vi äro 2/ The output with "use utf8;" (the accented characters are not recognized and the quotes are transformed into nonUTF-8 characters that correspond to <C2> in Latin 1. The terminal can't interpret them and displays a question mark instead): ? Tjuvg mmare ! ? s ga skatorna och se ut som samvetet sj lvt . ? Vi ro 3/ With use utf8; binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8'); I get (this time, the terminal can display the <C2> as a Â. This is not correct. It strips the accented characters):  Tjuvg mmare !  s ga skatorna och se ut som samvetet sj lvt .  Vi ro 4/ With binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8') only (Then, there is a combination of wrongly coded quotes in Latin 1 or Latin 9 that the terminal displays and accented characters that are shown with their UTF-8 substitutes interpreted as Latin 1 or Latin 9 characters); »Tjuvgömmare ! » säga skatorna och se ut som samvetet självt . »Vi äro Pierre Le 6 sept. 2010 à 20:55, Enrique Nell a écrit : > Hi > > Have you tried adding binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8'); to your code? > > > Enrique > > > On Sep 6, 2010, at 8:08 PM, Pierre Nugues wrote: > >> Dear Karl, >> >> Thank you for your help.
