Since you already know what sequence of encoding and decoding lead to the broken output, the easiest way with Encode::Repair is this:

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;

use Encode::Repair qw(repair_encoding);
my $broken = '敒›剕䕇呎';
say repair_encoding($broken, [decode => 'utf-8', encode => 'UTF-16LE']);
__END__
# output:
Re: URGENT

But it also works with learn_recoding:

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Encode::Repair qw(repair_encoding learn_recoding);
binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)';
my $broken = '敒›剕䕇呎';

my $pattern = learn_recoding(
    from    => $broken,
    to      => 'Re: URGENT',
    encodings => ['UTF-8', 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-16BE'],
);

if ($pattern) {
    say repair_encoding($broken, $pattern);
}

So, what did you try?

(Updated to use pre tags instead of code, because code tags badly break most non-ASCII-chars.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
