Using the perl internals through Data::Peek's DPeek, you'll see both versions if UTF-8 is in effect without the fragile use of utf8 function calls. It also shows the importance of using utf8 in your example code.

$ perl        -MData::Peek -wE'my $data = "Euro symbol: € | I \N{U+276
+4}\N{U+FE0F} \N{U+1F42A}"; DPeek $data'
PV("Euro symbol: \303\242\302\202\302\254 | I \342\235\244\357\270\217
+ \360\237\220\252"\0) [UTF8 "Euro symbol: \x{e2}\x{82}\x{ac} | I \x{2
+764}\x{fe0f} \x{1f42a}"]

$ perl -Mutf8 -MData::Peek -wE'my $data = "Euro symbol: € | I \N{U+276
+4}\N{U+FE0F} \N{U+1F42A}"; DPeek $data'
PV("Euro symbol: \342\202\254 | I \342\235\244\357\270\217 \360\237\22
+0\252"\0) [UTF8 "Euro symbol: \x{20ac} | I \x{2764}\x{fe0f} \x{1f42a}
+"]

$ perl -Mutf8 -MData::Peek -wE'my $data = "Euro symbol: \xe2\x82\xac |
+ I \xe2\x9d\xa4\xef\xb8\x8f \xf0\x9f\x90\xaa"; DPeek $data'
PV("Euro symbol: \342\202\254 | I \342\235\244\357\270\217 \360\237\22

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
