As of this point haskell seems to be ahead of the competition in embracing unicode. eg python moved to python 3 with a number of backward incompatible changes, the most notable of which is the moving to unicode as the default. However for unicode in python source it still seems people are finding it hard to accept.
FWIW, python's support for Unicode in its standard library is significantly better than Haskell's. Haskell fails on basic functions such as ‘toUpper’, ‘length’ or ‘==’.
