While we are kind of on this topic, what makes the characters ħ þ prefix operator by default, while º and most other odd ones infix?

alphanumeric vs non-alphanumeric

Testing this, I find that isAlpha is True also for 'º', but as the OP claims, Haskell will use it as a(n infix) symbol.

This is a bug in GHC. The characters <= '\255' were done specially, but incorrectly for many of those >= '\128'. I'll fix it, probably by just removing the specialisation for them. Thanks Ian
