What can I do with a UTF-8 string?

Perl-XML Frequently Asked Questions
You could obviously convert a UTF-8 encoded string to some other encoding, but before we get on to that, let's look at what you can do with it in its 'natural state'. If you wish to display the string in a web browser, no conversion is necessary. Modern browsers can understand UTF-8 directly, as can be seen on this page on the kermit project web site (some characters in the page will not display correctly without the correct fonts installed but that's a font issue rather than an encoding issue).
