I love using non-ASCII characters! Even my name, Długosz, needs Latin-2. My wife's name, 涛, doesn't even use Latin characters. I've inserted thousands of em and en dashes in Wikipedia and can easily type at least three kinds of blank space. When I was in a college class on programming theory, we studied Backus’s FP System and I corresponded with John Backus to ask a question the prof couldn't handle, and he sent me the TeX definitions he used, so my homework really did match the appearance of the textbook. But that's another story. I managed to get my name in the Unicode 3 hardcopy book. So, I relish the ability to use proper math symbols in Haskell. Here is an example of what I've tried: {-# LANGUAGE UnicodeSyntax #-} import Prelude.Unicode f x y = x∨y result = f ∘ id -- problem = ¬ True Is the UnicodeSyntax pragma a different mechanism than the modules? Do I need to state both, or do they clash, or work together, or what? Do I need to list all the individual modules (up to 12 of them) as needed (see http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-unicode-symbols) or can they be brought in as one easy chunk, as the package itself is one thing? The compiler does not like the ¬ symbol, with or without the pragma. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-unicode-symbols-0.2.2.4/docs/Prelude... clearly shows it (the first one!) and it appears in the module source so presumably it didn't choke there. I recall seeing that it is one of the "problematic" symbols but GHC has some extensions. OTOH, I read that λ can’t be made to work, which is sad. Maybe ⅄ (which is a symbol) can be used instead?
