Re: [Haskell-cafe] Has character changed in GHC 6.8?
chr . ord $ 'å' '\229' What would I have to do to get an 'å' from '229'?
It seems you already have it; 'å' is the same as '\229'. But IO output is still 8-bit, so when you ask ghci to print 'å', you get '\229'. You can use utf-string library (from hackage).

No. :-) if you 'print' it you get: print 'å' = putStrLn (show 'å') = putStrLn "\229" this has nothing to do with 8-bit IO. It's just what 'show' does for Char. If you.. putStrLn "å" then you do get the low 8 bits being printed. But that's not what is going on above.

import qualified Codec.Binary.UTF8.String as UTF8 putStrLn (UTF8.encodeString "å") or just: import qualified System.IO.UTF8 UTF8.putStrLn "å" Duncan
