That's a wonderful interface, but unfortunately it appears to assume that your Unicode I/O is always UTF-8, and never UTF-16. I happen to deal with more UTF-16 data than UTF-8 over here at the moment.
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/encoding seems to have UTF-16.
Just as a comment on the original comment: maybe it's just an unfortunate choice of phrasing, but is it really *that* surprising that a package called "utf8-string" assumes UTF-8 encoding?
Nope, never said it was. I was just pointing out that the OP (IIRC) asked for Unicode in general, and didn't specify UTF-8 specifically... and that UTF-8 is just part of that bigger picture.
