If you check the source I posted, the open specifies ":encoding(utf8)". And with that \xC3\xB6 does exist and is valid. So I don't really understand what you are talking about.

I'm talking about `locale` (from `use open qw(:std :locale)`). `encoding` doesn't override `locale` (maybe it should? but it doesn't. They basically stack). Note that using `:raw` simply removes the `locale` layer (like removing `use open ...` entirely, because by default Perl ignores locales... for the most part).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Also note that `"echo \xC3\xB6"` won't always work... conceptually, Perl's strings are sequences of integers; there is no guarantee about their internal representation - in particular, no guarantee that C3 and B6 are actually bytes. Try `"echo \xC3\xB6\x{FFFD}"` and see what happens...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
