Hi,
I want to check if a certain string is UTF-8 or not.
I have tried using is_utf8 from the Encode module, and utf8::is_utf8() but
the string is detected wrong.
For example, if I have a UTF-8 encoded file and an ANSI encoded file, if I
open them both without "<:utf8", is_utf8 shows that they are not UTF-8
strings, and if I open the files using "<:utf8", then is_utf8 shows that
they both are UTF-8 strings.
I want to detect which file is UTF-8 encoded and which is not.
Actually, I want to get a text from a database and check if it is UTF-8
encoded, and if it is not, to encode it as UTF-8, because I don't want to
encode a text as UTF-8 twice.
Can you tell me how can this be done?
Thank you.
Octavian
