\xc3\xb6 is not the right byte(s) for an ö from a Latin-1 terminal, it is the UTF-8 encoding. Meaning it can only be issued by a UTF-8 encoded source (and still mean ö). So what you are asking to do sanely, strikes me as…strange. If it is coming from a Latin-1 encoding source it would be \xf6. To do encoding properly you have to know what you are receiving, decode it with that, and know what your output layer is, encode it to that. It’s not easy but it’s not magical either. Without the right steps at the right layers it’s literally guesswork and impossible to do robustly.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
