Typically you need to tell Perl to treat them as UTF-8. Without knowing exactly how you're getting your strings into Perl, there are a number of ways to do this (https://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode). For instance, if you're reading from a filehandle you can set its mode: binmode(\*STDIN, ':utf8'); Or you can can specifically mark the string after it's imported: use Encode; $str = Encode::decode("UTF-8", $str); One of these might help with your issue.
