#and expect Unicode strings, that is, characters with high ordinal Unicode
#values (> 255) will be encoded as such characters, and likewise such
#characters are decoded as-is, no changes to them will be done, except
#"(re-)interpreting" them as Unicode codepoints or Unicode characters,
#respectively (to Perl, these are the same thing in strings unless you do
#funny/weird/dumb stuff).
#
#This is useful when you want to do the encoding yourself (e.g. when you
#want to have UTF-16 encoded JSON texts) or when some other layer does
#the encoding for you (for example, when printing to a terminal using a
#filehandle that transparently encodes to UTF-8 you certainly do NOT want
#to UTF-8 encode your data first and have Perl encode it another time).
#
#=item C<utf8> flag enabled
#
#If the C<utf8>-flag is enabled, C<encode>/C<decode> will encode all
#characters using the corresponding UTF-8 multi-byte sequence, and will
#expect your input strings to be encoded as UTF-8, that is, no "character"
#of the input string must have any value > 255, as UTF-8 does not allow
#that.
