AnyEvent::Log UTF8 strings to terminal?

[Mark Lawrence]

This is sort of what I am trying to do:

     use strict;
     use warnings;
     use utf8;
     use AE;

     BEGIN {
         $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG} = 'filter=trace:log=file=/dev/pts/5';
     }

     AE::log error => '⣿';

And this is the error I'm getting:

     2025-05-05 11:10:54.000000 +0200 info  AnyEvent::IO: Autoloaded IO model 'Perl', using it.
     Wide character in syswrite at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36/AnyEvent/IO/Perl.pm line 62.

Is there a) a better way to send log output to a terminal and/or b) 
some way to binmode the aio filehandle?
