[tpm] Handling utf8/unicode in strings (I think?)

I'm outputting a string in perl, and it shows up something like this:

"won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t easily play well "


Where it should be like this:

"won't easily play well"


I thought it was a terminal issue... and that was partially true.  I ran mc
on this particular terminal, and the curses UI was all garbled.  So I fixed
that be reconfiguring my locales, but perl is still outputing the noise
above.

Anyone know how I'm supposed to handle this?

I came accross Search::Tools::Transliterate, but that just seems overkill.
