Re: encode $encoding list ???

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

~$ raku
Welcome to 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐝𝐨™ v2021.06.
Implementing the 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐮™ programming language v6.d.
Built on MoarVM version 2021.06.

To exit type 'exit' or '^D'
> print Buf.new(0x84, 0x73, 0x77, 0x84, 0x79).decode("utf8-c8") ~ "\n"
􏿽x84sw􏿽x84y
>

Not clear if this is what you expect. I've also run code from
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:

A􏿽xFAB􏿽xFB􏿽xFCC􏿽xFD

If I go into /tmp and look at the file created, it contains the following
single line:

AúBûüCý


HTH, Bill.
