Yes, you can set the text encoding on the handle you're reading this text from [1]. The default text encoding is determined by the environment, which is why I asked about LANG. If you're entering literal strings, see Albert Lai's answer. Erik [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/System-IO.h...

Is there any other way to solve this problem without changing LANG environment variable?

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"?

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:

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