Hi All,
https://docs.raku.org/routine/encode
multi method encode(Str:D $encoding = 'utf8', :$replacement, Bool()
:$translate-nl = False, :$strict)
shows "ascii" and "utf8" as possible values for
"$encoding".
I tool a guess and found out "utf16".
Where are the rest of the values???? GGGGRRRRR!!!!

Yes that helps greatly. Thank you!
It would probably kill them to put a link to that
on the first page.
That's a great idea, and probably should be done. In the meanwhile
maybe you can test out some of the different encoding names--and let
us on the mailing-list know that everything is working okay?
Thx --B.
They all seem to work
I did not come up with a specific example for each though.
