Thanks for the link. I didn't see anything in there about normalizing the source code in particular, but did try a test case with the 2018.05 version of Perl 6 with good results, in case anybody is interested:

$ cat t.p6
#!/usr/bin/env perl6

my $charé = "asdf";

if $chare&#769; {
    say "It Works!";
}

$ perl6 t.p6
It Works!

The source:

$ grep \$char t.p6 | od -c
0000000   m   y       $   c   h   a   r 303 251       =       "   a   
+s
0000020   d   f   "   ;  \n   i   f       $   c   h   a   r   e 314 20
+1
0000040       {  \n
0000043

After parsing:

$ perl6 --target=parse t.p6 | head | grep \$char | od -c
0000000   m   y       $   c   h   a   r 303 251       =       "   a   
+s
0000020   d   f   "   ;  \n   i   f       $   c   h   a   r 303 251
0000040   {  \n                   -       E   X   P   R   :       m   
+y
0000060       $   c   h   a   r 303 251       =       "   a   s   d   
+f
0000100   "  \n

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.
