Hi,

Here you go

perlunitut: Unicode in Perl#I/O flow (the actual 5 minute tutorial)

Now ask your program (or mine) , who is doing the byte encoding (what statement, what function/method )?

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dump qw/ dd /;
use Path::Tiny qw/ path /;

use JSON::XS();
use JSON::PP();

my @humps = "\x{FEFF}\x{1F42A} one hump two humps \x{1F42B}";
dd( JSON::XS->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );
dd( JSON::PP->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );
dd( JSON::XS->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );
dd( JSON::PP->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );
dd( JSON::XS->new->ascii(1)->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );
dd( JSON::PP->new->ascii(1)->pretty(1)->encode( \@humps ) );

print "#" x 6, "\n";
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_raw( JSON::XS->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@h
+umps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_raw );
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_raw( JSON::PP->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@h
+umps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_raw );

print "#" x 6, "\n";
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::XS->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@
+humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_raw );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::PP->new->pretty(1)->encode( \@
+humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_raw );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );

print "#" x 6, "\n";
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::XS->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->e
+ncode( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::PP->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->e
+ncode( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );

print "#" x 6, "\n";
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::XS->new->ascii(1)->pretty(1)->
+encode( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_utf8( JSON::PP->new->ascii(1)->pretty(1)->
+encode( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );

print "#" x 6, "\n";
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_raw( JSON::XS->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->en
+code( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );
path( 'deleteme.txt')->spew_raw( JSON::PP->new->utf8(1)->pretty(1)->en
+code( \@humps ) );
dd( path( 'deleteme.txt')->slurp_utf8 );

# path( 'deleteme.txt')->remove;
