Your solution seems to be to get the console to display UTF8 correctly by
setting its font and code page. If it works, this indicates that the output
from the Perl script is UTF8. Its not clear what your problem is, as it doesn't
seem to be with the Perl script.
You have read Perl's unicode documentation (e.g. 'perldoc uniintro' 'perldoc
unicode' ...)?
Also, charnames::viacode(160) returns "NO-BREAK SPACE" (see 'perldoc
charnames').
