I think what I need is some code to strip non-utf8 characters from a string

Tri this:
Encode::_utf8_off($string);
$string = Encode::decode('utf8', $string);
That will replace any byte sequences which are invalid UTF-8 with the Unicode
replacement character.
Yeah. Not working for me. See attached script. Devel::Peek says:
SV = PV(0x100801f18) at 0x10082f368
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (PADMY,POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0x1002015c0 "<p>Tomas Laurinavi\303\204\302\215ius</p>"\0 [UTF8
"<p>Tomas Laurinavi\x{c4}\x{8d}ius</p>"]
CUR = 29
LEN = 32
So the UTF8 flag is enabled, and yet it has "\303\204\302\215" in it. What is
that crap?
Confused and frustrated,
David
