The [Euro character](http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20ac/index.htm) is 0xe282ac in UTF-8

I'm trying to use a string in perl with the UTF-8 character output to STDOUT.

So I set my script to be in UTF-8 with ['use utf8;'](http://perldoc.perl.org/5.8.8/perlunicode.html)

And I set up my STDOUT to be in UTF-8 with ['binmode'](http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/binmode.html).

An example script is:

```
use utf8;
binmode STDOUT, ':utf8';
print "I owe you 160\x{20ac}\n";
print "I owe you 80\xe2\x82\xac\n";  # UTF-8 encoding?

```

The \x{codepoint} works fine, but encoding the UTF-8 gives me an error:

```
I owe you 160€
I owe you 80â¬

```
