Hi Todd, I'm trying to follow what you're doing (below in Terminal app

Not clear if this is what you expect. I've also run code from
https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode#UTF8-C8
<https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode#UTF8-C8> and see something
different from what's posted there:
my $test-file = "/tmp/test";
given open($test-file, :w, :bin) {
.write: Buf.new(ord('A'), 0xFA, ord('B'), 0xFB, 0xFC, ord('C'),
0xFD);
.close;
}
say slurp($test-file, enc => 'utf8-c8');
# OUTPUT: «(65 250 66 251 252 67 253)»
The output I actually see is:
AxFABxFBxFCCxFD
If I go into /tmp and look at the file created, it contains the
following single line:
AúBûüCý
HTH, Bill.

Hi Bill,
I was after getting anything to print. I expected
it to look like utter non-sense.
It was part of my Keeper on buffers. And I
had to use "utf8-c8" to keep the line
from crashing.
