Possibly a known bug, but Rakudo (at least on OS X) is treating REPL input as Latin-1, even though it treats script code and command-line code properly as UTF-8 (which matches my locale settings):
$ ./perl6 -e 'for «Hello world!» { .say }'
Hello
world!
$ ./perl6 > for «Hello world!» { .say }
Statement not terminated properly at line 1, near "\x{c2}\x{ab}Hello wo"
in Main (src/gen_setting.pm:3425)
