Hello,
I'd like to type in GHCi some non-latin characters, but when I try it, no characters are inserted at all. Latin characters though are typed in fine, and in any other shell except GHCi I try non-Latin characters get typed without problem.
You should use the utf8-string library to print multibyte string literals in GHC. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string Linux distributions usually have this packaged. Otherwise, you can to install this using cabal. I am not sure whether there is a direct support for wide characters in Haskell.
I mean I'm not able to type in GHCi an expression like
'ᾶ' == 'ᾶ' (can't type in the ᾶ)
Is this a known GHCi restriction on the character set it accepts, or something is wrong with my setup of GHCi/terminal?
I'm using GHC 6.10.1 in Mac OS X Terminal.
