In my opinion, it's futile to troubleshoot UTF-8 issues without understanding the underlying implementation and keeping track of the <c>SVf_UTF8</c> flag, using <c>Encode::is_utf8()</c> when convenient and [perldoc://Devel::Peek]'s <c>Dump()</c> when necessary.
<p>The interface for <c>Encode::is_utf8()</c> is dreadful, but it's better than flailing in the dark.
