$s = "\xC3\x83\xC2\xA9t\xC3\x83\xC2\xA9" - is not utf-8 chars. it's
octets.
Encode::decode_utf8($s) == "\x{a9}t\x{a9}" - it's chars (with utf8
flasg on).

When you join octets (with 8-bit set) and unicode chars, octets will
be converted to unicode chars:
"\xC3" => "\x{C3}" ( == "\xc3\x83" in octets).

Solution: decode data to native unicode before process data.
