@@ -114,13 +114,7 @@ will typically occur directly within the literal strings as UTF-8
characters, but you can also specify a particular character with an
extension of the C<\x> notation. UTF-8 characters are specified by
putting the hexadecimal code within curlies after the C<\x>. For instance,
-a Unicode smiley face is C<\x{263A}>. A character in the Latin-1 range
-(128..255) should be written C<\x{ab}> rather than C<\xab>, since the
-former will turn into a two-byte UTF-8 code, while the latter will
-continue to be interpreted as generating a 8-bit byte rather than a
-character. In fact, if the C<use warnings> pragma of the C<-w> switch
-is turned on, it will produce a warning
-that you might be generating invalid UTF-8.
