A Char is a type that holds a single Unicode codepoint from one of the 17 planes. As a codepoint is just a number without any defined representation, it doesn't have an 'encoding'. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
Your explanation sounds a bit like string theory. ;-)
Thanks,
Michael

A 'Char' in Haskell represents a single Unicode code point.
