The main problem is that you need binary I/O. Haskell 98 only provides text I/O.
You don't need binary I/O for UTF-8 now; because implementations use ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 octets can be faked as characters by (chr . fromIntegral).
The other point with text I/O is that under Windows the EOF character ^Z is treated specially and a conversion between Windows EOLs (^M^J) and Haskell EOLs (^J) takes place.
UTF-8 preserves ASCII and doesn't use ASCII bytes for non-ASCII characters, so the situation is the same as in other encodings and text mode is usually fine. It would not be OK for UTF-16. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
