Using the latest version (WinGHCi 1.0.6) and GHCi 6.12.3, I get:

Prelude>
putStrLn "ß"

ß

Prelude>
print "ß"
"\223"

Prelude>
putStr "αγδ"
*** Exception: <stdout>: hPutChar: invalid argument (character is not in the code page)

and this is consistent with output I get when using GHCi on a console on Windows.

Cheers,

L.S.,

When I try
putStrLn "ß"
(Eszett (sharp S)) in WinGhci, the interpreter seems to have disappeared; ctrl-C gives the message "Interrupted" in a separate window, but no new prompt. When I start GHCi in a shell, the interpreter displays:
Prelude> print "ß"
"\223"

Is this a known issue?

Other experiments with WinGhci:
>print "αγδ"
"a?d"
(Trying to print alpha, gamma, delta.)

>print "β"
(Trying to print beta) interpreter hangs again.

Details:
- WinGhci 1.0.2
- GHCi, version 6.12.3
- Windows XP

Henk-Jan van Tuyl
