Forwarding on to the maintainer, in case he's not on the list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sean McLaughlin Date: Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 1:31 PM Subject: [Haskell-cafe] suggestion for hslogger To: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Hello,   I have a program that does a lot of unicode manipulation.  I'd like to use hslogger to log various operations. However, since hslogger uses System.IO.putX, the unicode comes out mangled.  I hacked the source to use System.IO.UTF8 instead, but it would be nice if that was an option so I don't have to rehack the code whenever there is a new release. Thanks! Sean _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Note that this will "Just Work"tm in ghc-6.12. By default the System.IO functions will use the locale encoding and convert to/from the Unicode String type. Duncan
