Consider:
use warnings ;

my ($v) = @_ ;
my $p = pack('U', $v) ;
my @t = unpack('C*', $p) ;
printf '\x%04X_%04X: ', ($v >> 16), $v & 0xFFFF ;
print map sprintf('\x%02X', $_), @t ;

v5.8.8 result:
\x7FFF_FFFD: \xFD\xBF\xBF\xBF\xBF\xBD
...
v5.10.0 result:
\x7FFF_FFFD: \x7FFFFFFD
I didn't see this in all the clutter of warnings.
I thought 'C' worked on Octets ? Which is what 5.8.8 appears to be
doing, but not 5.10.0.
