Yes I have seen this and the way I have worked around it is: $myStr = Unicode::String::utf8($char1) . Unicode::String::utf8($char2); return $myStr->as_string;

Tested on the command line and in mozilla browser (which has quite good unicode support) However, using Unicode::String and the append() method seems to work fine. I am using Perl 5.6.0 Any ideas?
