I\'d like to be able to identify patterns of the form
28°44\'30\"N., 33°12\'36\"E.
Here\'s what I have so far:
use utf8;
qr{
Try dropping the use utf8
statement.
The degree symbol corresponds to character value 0xB0 in my current encoding (whatever that is, but it ain't UTF8). 0xB0 is a "continuation byte" in UTF8; it is expected to by the second, third, or fourth character of a sequence that begins with something between 0xC2 and 0xF4. Using that string with utf8
will give you an error.
