Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to use Unicode strings?

That really ought to work.  Is the file encoded in UTF-8 (rather than,
eg. latin-1)?
This should pretend to work. Simple print functions garble unicode characters.
For example :
...
putStrLn "Ну и где этот ваш хвалёный уникод?"
prints following output
C 8 345 MB>B 20H E20;Q=K9 C=8:>4?
Not pretty? Althrough Dmitri's variant seems to work fine.
Use the UTF8 printing functions,

    import qualified System.IO.UTF8 as U

    main = U.putStrLn "Ну и где этот ваш хвалёный уникод?"

Running this,

    *Main> main
    Ну и где этот ваш хвалёный уникод?
