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.
That's weird; possibly an encoding problem>
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
This is an encoding problem; remember that "print = putStrLn . show", so it escapes the String first (to a unicode code-point). ,---- | Prelude> print "ß" | "\223" | Prelude> putStrLn "ß" | ß `---- (running ghci within a terminal on a Linux-based box). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
