Re: [Haskell-cafe] writeFile: commitBuffer: invalid argument (Illegal byte sequence)

What is the value of your LANG environment variable? Does it still give the error if you set it to e.g. "en_US.UTF-8"? Erik On Sun, Dec 4, 2011 at 13:12, dokondr wrote:

Hi, In  GHC 7.0.3 / Mac OS X when trying to:

writeFile  "someFile" "(Hoping You Have A iPhone When I Do This) Lol Sleep Is When You Close These ---> \55357\56384"

I get: commitBuffer: invalid argument (Illegal byte sequence)

The string I am trying to write can also be seen here:

http://twitter.com/#!/search/Hoping%20You%20Have%20A%20iPhone%20When%20I%20D...

It looks like 'writeFile' can not write unicode characters. Any workarounds?

Thanks! Dmitri
