-The C
operator translates characters instead of bytes. It can also
-be forced to translate between 8-bit codes and UTF-8. For instance, if you
-know your input in Latin-1, you can say:
-
- while (<>) {
- tr/\0-\xff//CU; # latin1 char to utf8
- ...
- }
-
-Similarly you could translate your output with
-
- tr/\0-\x{ff}//UC; # utf8 to latin1 char

-No, C doesn't take /U or /C (yet?).
