I'm not going to say that I understand Unicode completely, but this
puzzles me:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use strict;
use charnames qw(:full);
print "Yes" if "\x{263a}" eq "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}"; # prints Yes
print length("\x{263a}"); # 1
print length("\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}"); # 3
printf "%vx\n", "\x{263a}"; # 263a
printf "%vx\n", "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}"; # e2.98.ba
__END__
Actually, I'd expect Unicode characters to have length 1.
