Have you tried using putStrLn? Small GHCI example: Prelude> putStrLn "\29579" 王 I believe the Show instances for chars and strings escape all characters with a codepoint > 127. 2012/1/10 Magicloud Magiclouds :

Hi,  I am using LDAP hackage to do some ldap searching. I am not sure if this is its problem. All Chinese chars returned like "\29579".  How to convert it to the actual Chinese char? I thought it was my terminal's fault, so tried to use System.IO.UTF8 to put the result into a file and viewed by firefox, no luck. -- 竹密岂妨流水过 山高哪阻野云飞

Are you using "print"? Did you try "putStrLn"? Cheers, =) -- Felipe.
