Here's a follow-on with an observation/question for someone more knowledgeable about Perl unicode)

I don't know how 'use locale' affects this but I
only see the OP's expected display of characters
by using the "\N{U+...}" notation to force character
semantics:

#use utf8;
my $cosa = "Here is my \N{U+263A} résúmé \N{U+03C0}!";

Output:  Here is my ☺ résúmé π!
