In general, tr/// works fine with Unicode strings.

If it doesn't work for you, it means that the data strings aren't in the encoding you think they are, or don't match your expectation in some other way.

So it's time you start debugging; I can recommend Devel::Peek for it. See also: Unicode and encoding in Perl.
