my hunch is that you do some sort of double encoding, so I would suggest to decode the character from UTF16 to UTF8

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:

$string = decode("utf16", $octets);

but I get this error:

UTF-16:Unrecognised BOM 3230 at C:/Dwimperl/perl/lib/Encode.pm line 17
+6
[download]

Can you give me a nudge as to how to decode from UTF16?

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.

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).
