Then I discovered System.IO.UTF8. However, when I use this as below then the output is garbled.

System.IO.UTF8 is intended for earlier versions of ghc which didn't support I/O encoding; if you use it with modern ghc you're likely to get things encoded twice, which will indeed be garbled.

Aah, ok. Then I may safely ignore System.IO.UTF8. -- Thanks, Manfred
