>From perldiag:

Character in "C" format wrapped in pack
(W pack) You said

pack("C", $x)

where $x is either less than 0 or more than 255; the "C" format is
only for encoding native operating system characters (ASCII,
EBCDIC, and so on) and not for Unicode characters, so Perl behaved
as if you meant

pack("C", $x & 255)

If you actually want to pack Unicode codepoints, use the "U" format
instead.
