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
