Encode::decode() doesn't allow you to pass in a Unicode string with

Well, right. If it has the gremlins, it's not Unicode. So what is it?
What we want is to
convert from a string to another string, while what Encode provides is
conversion between bytes and strings.
Yes, but if it's CP1252, you can convert it to utf8 and then to UTF-8.
The cp1252_fixup($text) function happens to be the same as
decode('cp1252', $text) when $text is Latin1, but not when $text is
Unicode.
Actually, it should be the same when $text is CP1252. But where is
the text coming from? How could it be a mix of Unicode and CP1252?
Best,
