I dont see a 'new' constructor mentioned in the documentation....
Here's a part of the fine manual on UTF...:
SYNOPSIS
use Unicode::String qw(utf8 latin1 utf16);
$u = utf8("The Unicode Standard is a fixed-width, uniform ");
$u .= utf8("encoding scheme for written characters and text");
# convert to various external formats
print $u->ucs4; # 4 byte characters
print $u->utf16; # 2 byte characters + surrogates
print $u->utf8; # 1-4 byte characters
print $u->utf7; # 7-bit clean format
print $u->latin1; # lossy
print $u->hex; # a hexadecimal string
# all these can be used to set string value or as constructor
$u->latin1("Å være eller å ikke være");
$u = utf16("\0Å\0 \0v\0æ\0r\0e");
# string operations
$u2 = $u->copy;
$u->append($u2);
$u->repeat(2);
$u->chop;
$u->length;
$u->index($other);
$u->index($other, $pos);
$u->substr($offset);
$u->substr($offset, $length);
$u->substr($offset, $length, $substitute);
# overloading
$u .= "more";
$u = $u x 100;
print "$u\n";
# string <--> array of numbers
@array = $u->unpack;
$u->pack(@array);
# misc
$u->ord;
$u = uchr($num);
