This must be answered somewhere but SuperSearch didn't find it.
I'm using
use utf8 in my test program and the program won't compile; the error message is
Malformed UTF-8 character: \xf0\x69\x20\x20 (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x69, immediately after start byte 0xf0; need 4 bytes, got 1) at wordy.pl line 6.
Here's my simple program:
#!perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
my $veiði = "exciting";
my $efnisskrá = "repertoir";
use open IO => ':utf8';
print "in my $efnisskrá (efnisskrá) I like to go fishing ($veiði)\n";
