in reply to Peculiar Reference To U+00FE In Text::CSV_XS Documentation

Why is this particular Unicode character, LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN, singled out for special mention in the documentation?

Because of its ordinal value (the number that it is)

When might they work?

:) When they're not on vacation?

:) When the source allows it?

Seriously though, the docs you're quoting say it Multibyte characters are not allowd and use perl-5.8.2 or higher

 

If this is the case, then I want to learn how to do this
