# A simple example of writing some Unicode text with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
#
# This creates an Excel file with the word Nippon in 3 character sets.
#
# This example shows UTF16 encoding. With perl 5.8 it is also possible to use
# utf8 without modification.
#
# See also the unicode_2022_jp.pl and unicode_shift_jis.pl examples.
