Subject: eDumper call causing certain characters to appear as "â"
Not sure what exactly is the issue, but it appears that certain unicode characters are appearing erroneously as the "â€" character. For example, the string "But April’s instant stardom" turns into "But April’s instant stardom". The character being mis-translated it the Unicode Right Single Quote, U+2019. This error is occurring in Perl 5.014 running on a 2015 Mac Book Pro with OS X 10.11.6 Because of the instance of occurrence, I'm led to believe that the problem has to do with the translation of non-breaking spaces, as indicated in this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1461907/html-encoding-issues-%C3%82-character-showing-up-instead-of-nbsp
I think this is not a bug for encoding. It's just view problem. So I added hooks for filtering. See version 0.4. Thank you!
