I usually pull such values as ByteStrings. The utf8-strings package provides printing functions for such data. Also, if you'd like to work on it as Text, there's the Data.Text.Encodings module, to decodeUTF8 or decodeASCII ByteString's into Text.
I would recommend Data.Text because that is designed for Text encodings while ByteString is designed for handling arrays of bytes (eg things like data read from an network socket).
