perldiag man page provides more information about the warning:
Wide character (U+%X) in %s
(W locale) While in a single-byte locale (i.e., a non-UTF-8 one), a
multi-byte character was encountered. Perl considers this character to be
the specified Unicode code point.
Since LC_ALL=C is a non utf-8 locale, I kinda agree with Perl's diagnostic.
I don't known what can be done to avoid the warning, or if something should be
done.
All the best
