The new 0.7 release of the text package 
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text adds support for Unicode I/O, 
using either the new locale-aware Handle code in 6.12 or a fallback on 
older releases.

How do you pack Unicode codepoints into Word16? Do you use UTF-16?

Supposing -

   s = "\x010A60\x010A61" -- Old South Arabian script
   t = pack s

Is (unpack t) the same as s? What is (length t)?
