Using the latest version (WinGHCi 1.0.6) and GHCi 6.12.3, I get:
 

Prelude>

 putStrLn "ß"

ß

Prelude>

 print "ß"

"\223"

Prelude>

 putStr "αγδ"

*** Exception: <stdout>: hPutChar: invalid argument (character is not in the code page)


and this is consistent with output I get when using GHCi on a console on Windows.

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. 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

Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl
