Hi!
say I wanna use "—" as new infix operator: it's the big dash used a bit like parenthesis, especially at the end of sentences —like this.
in ghci directly:
Prelude> let (—) a b = a + b
No problem, is accepted and usable. Same in files.
Now I try using (»), a French (amongst others) punctuation sign, typically replaces the quote-ends, « like this ».
Doesn't work:
<interactive>:2:6: lexical error at character '\187'
I thought Haskell was Unicode-friendly? Why some symbols but not others? :'(
