How can I display extended ASCII code characters in Perl?

Question

How to display 192 character (└) character in perl?

Answer 1

What you want is to be able to print Unicode, and the answer is at perldoc perluniintro.

You can use \x{nnnn}where n is the hexadecimal identifier, or you can do \N{...}with the name:

perl -E 'say "\x{2514}"; use charnames; say "\N{BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT UP AND RIGHT}"'

Answer 2

Answer 4

As usual, Jon Skeet calls it: the code 192is in the extended ASCII range . I suggest you follow @Douglas Leeder's recommendations , but I'm not sure which encoding www.LookupTables.com will give you; ISO-8859-1thinks that 192 displays “À”, and Mac OS Romanthinks about his “¿”.
