> Even substr('Ĉon Flux', 0, 1) returns a space character.
No, it works correctly. But you need to handle the encoding appropriately: tell Perl what encoding is used on input (binmode on *DATA below), what encoding is used in the source code (here utf8), and what encoding is used on output (binmode on *STDOUT). Configure the terminal to use the output encoding.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
use feature qw{ say };
binmode *STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
say substr('Ĉon Flux', 0, 1);
binmode *DATA, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
say substr <DATA>, 0, 1;
__DATA__
Ĉon Flux
Output:
Ĉ
Ĉ
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

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).
