Please close this, I was being an idiot. \c[0x2424] - I just blithely
assumed that the number was as in \x{..}.

jgoff@Demeisen:~$ perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2015.12-152-gd7f3f0b built on MoarVM version
2015.12-29-g8079ca5
implementing Perl 6.c.
The following is a simple script that changes newlines to their control
picture equivalent, or at least it should:
--cut here--
my $str = "foo\nbar";
$str ~~ s:g/\n/\c[2424]/;
say $str;
--cut here--
And here's the output:
--cut here--
jgoff@Demeisen:~$ perl6 -I. bug.txt | hexdump -C
00000000 66 6f 6f e0 a5 b8 62 61 72 0a
|foo...bar.|
0000000a
--cut here--
The s/// statement turns newlines into E0 A5 B8, which is U+0978
DEVANAGARI LETTER MARWARI DDA and not E2 90 A4, which is U+2424 SYMBOL
FOR NEWLINE. The 0A at the end of the string is unaffected, as it
should
be.
