I do not quite understand the question. I told you how to directly enter unicode by remembering the codepoint. It's still the same characters. I would definitely recommend setting up, and getting used to Compose keys. I use them all the time for things like « » ‘ ’ “ ” ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰¯⁺≠ On Sun,

Re: How do I do literal quotes in a regex?

You won't believe it :-) but Raku's wonderful documentation has a page on how to enter Unicode characters: https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode_entry That page also links to a GitHub project which offers a .XCompose ready to use. I started from that and added some faster and easier (for me) to

Re: How do I do literal quotes in a regex?

I would recommend setting up a compose key. But that is not enough because I don't think it has a binding for those two characters. So you would also have to modify the config to include them. I think that ｢Compose [ [ ｣ and ｢Compose ] ] ｣ might be what I would set them as. Note that ｢‘｣ is

How do I do literal quotes in a regex?

Hi All, Is there a `Q[]` that can be used in a regex? I am looking for how to get around my $x = Q[\:\\::]; ( my $y = $x ) ~~ s/ '' /x/; say $y \:x:: This does not work: my $x = Q[\:\\::]; ( my $y = $x ) ~~ s/ Q[\\] /x/; say $y \:\\:: Nor does this: my $x = Q[\:\\::]; ( my $y = $x ) ~~
