The char 0x9F or 0237 is the second byte of the utf8 encoding for ß They aren't 2 characters - they're the same character: #!/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.0 use warnings; use strict; my $utf8 = "\x{DF}\x{100}"; chop $utf8; my $byte = "\xDF"; if ($utf8 eq $byte) { printf "Yes\n"; } else { print "No\n"; printf "%d byte of %d, %b byte of %d\n", length $utf8, ord $utf8, length $byte, ord $byte; } print "utf8 is $utf8\n"; print "byte is $byte\n"; __END__ I run that through less to show the unprintable character as <9F> and for perl5.6.0 I see: No 1 byte of 223, 1 byte of 223 utf8 is Ã<9F> byte is ß With perl5.6.1 I see: Yes utf8 is Ã<9F> byte is ß because perl5.6.1, er, doesn't grok printing utf8. That's why I feel that finishing 5.8 is important. Nicholas Clark -- Even better than the real thing: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
