<i>my hunch is that you do some sort of double encoding, so I would suggest to decode the character from UTF16 to UTF8</i>
<p>I did have that thought, and made some attempts to decode from utf16 using Encode.pm, but was unsuccessful. I tried using variations on this convention:</p>
<code>
$string = decode("utf16", $octets);
</code>
<p>but I get this error:</p>
<code>
UTF-16:Unrecognised BOM 3230 at C:/Dwimperl/perl/lib/Encode.pm line 176
</code>
<p>Can you give me a nudge as to how to decode from UTF16?</p>
<p>I appreciate your help very much. The information regarding the font is interesting. I am certain the language at issue is not Japanese, but the principle should be the same. I will try to find out through our deployment group what languages are in play. That info has been difficult to come by so far.</p>
