I am picking up pieces of someone else's large project and trying to right the wrongs. The problem is, I'm just not sure what the *correct* ways are.

So, I am cURLing a bunch of HTML pages, then writing it to files with simple commands like:

```
$src = `curl http://google.com`;
open FILE, ">output.html";
print FILE $src;
close FILE;

```

Now I wanted those to be saved as UTF-8. What is it saved as? Then I am reading the html file in using the same basic 'open' command, parsing the html with regex calls, and using string concatenation to make a big string and writing it to an XML file (using the same code as above). I have already started using XML::Writer instead, but now I must go through and fix the files that have inaccurate encoding.

So, I don't have the html anymore, but I still have the XML that have to display proper characters. Here is an example: <http://filevo.com/wkkixmebxlmh.html>

The main problem is detecting and replacing the character in question with a "\x{2019}" that displays in editors properly. But I can't figure out a regex to actually capture the character in the wild.

**UPDATE:**

I still cannot detect the ALT-0146 character that's in the XML file I uploaded to Filevo above. I've tried opening it in UTF-8, and searching for /\x{2019}/, /chr(0x2019)/, and just /’/, nothing.
