Bug#661736: FormatText: UTF-8 character gets killed

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: libhtml-format-perl
Version: 2.10-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

% perl -MHTML::FormatText -e 'print HTML::FormatText->new->format_string("à")' |hd
00000000  c3 20 0a                                          |. .|
00000003

The character à gets replaced by \xC3\x20. I don't know why this happens,
but the string should remain unchanged.

Bye, Jörg.
