Regardless of the above, the C<bytes> pragma can always be used to force byte semantics in a particular lexical scope. See L<bytes>. +One effect of the C<utf8> pragma is that the internal UTF-8 decoding +becomes stricter so that the character 0xFFFF (UTF-8 bytes 0xEF 0xBF +0xBF), and the bytes 0xFE and 0xFF, start to cause warnings if they +appear in the data. + The C<utf8> pragma is primarily a compatibility device that enables recognition of UTF-8 in literals encountered by the parser. It may also be used for enabling some of the more experimental Unicode support features. |
