1. You need to use "chcp 65001" to set the console code page to UTF8 2. It is very likely that your Windows console won't have the fonts required to actually make sense of the output. Pipe the output to foo.txt. If you open this file in notepad you will see the correct characters show up.
it will work even without chcp. afaik nor ghc nor windows adjusts text being output to current console codepage
GHC certainly does. We use GetConsoleCP() when deciding what code page to use by default - see libraries/base/GHC/IO/Encoding/CodePage.hs. Windows Consoles use Unicode internally. I presume at some point between WriteFile() and the console some decoding is supposed to happen, but I don't know where that is, or how well it works (other evidence on this thread suggests not very well).
