Thanks Don for your reply. I may have overlooked something in the blog post you gave, but my understanding is that it talks about the user's input/output to and from GHCi and the file system. The user IO with non-Latin chars seems to work fine in GHC 6.12.1; e.g.:
*Main> putStrLn "πρόχειρον.hs" πρόχειρον.hs
*Main> getLine >>= putStrLn πρόχειρον.hs πρόχειρον.hs *Main>
It's only when GHCi attempts to print a diagnostic message containing a filename with non-Latin chars that the garbling occurs:
*Main> :load πρόχειρον.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ÏÏÎ ¿ÌÏειÏον.hs, interpreted )
ÏÏοÌÏειÏον.hs:1:23: Not in scope: type constructor or class `Boo' Failed, modules loaded: none. Prelude>
It would be nice if the error messages at least showed correctly the filename. Maybe this has something to do with Haskeline? Anyway thanks again, Christos On 18 Οκτ 2009, at 6:11 μ.μ., Don Stewart wrote:

I've noticed that when I load in GHCi a file that has a non-latin name, although it gets loaded, its name appears garbled in the message after the loading:
Prelude> :load πρόχειρον.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( ÏÏÎ ¿ÌÏειÏον.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Main. *Main>
Is this expected, or something is wrong with my setup? It's a rather insignificant issue, but I thought to ask about it. I'm using GHC 6.12.1rc1 on Mac OS X 10.6.1.
Perhaps you're seeing the GHC support for locales in 6.12.
