Hi,
I've run into a problem.
I have a data file that contains strings like
[- Ω -] - [ Omega ] In case its messed up when I post this
[◄●►] - [ < o > ] dark filled in shapes.
As well it contains non-displayed chars that seems to have a ord value
of 160.
Anyway the web pages save fine, they also display fine in word and notepad.
If I try and read/write them with perl however things turn bad.
The Omega symbol seems to be ord 937 which prints as Ω
Using a hash I mapped one file, which of course doesn't include all
special chars but it shows the problem.
Here is the last part of the table.
Char y ==> 121
Char z ==> 122
Char { ==> 123
Char } ==> 125
Char ~ ==> 126
Char   ==> 160
Char Ω ==> 937
Char Γû║ ==> 9658
Char Γùä ==> 9668
Char ΓùÅ ==> 9679
I added the following use to remove the "wide char errors" when printing.
use open ':utf8';
binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");
But really how can I know what the right unicode set is.
How can I get them to print correctly to a file is fine, and how can I
get that files saved as a unicode instead of ascii?
In Windows I can save a file as Unicode or UTF-8 what would be the perl
equivalent to unicode?
thanks in advance
