My system locale is en_US.UTF-8 I've written an example app as following import Text.StringTemplate(render, directoryGroupRecursive, STGroup, getStringTemplate, setAttribute) import qualified Data.ByteString as BS main :: IO () main = do tg <- getTemplates "./" let (Just tmpl) = getStringTemplate "test" tg let res = render $ setAttribute "test" "Это проверка" tmpl BS.writeFile "./output.txt" res getTemplates :: FilePath -> IO (STGroup BS.ByteString) getTemplates path = directoryGroupRecursive path It just reads a test template and writes rendered result back to file. And I get corrupted output. On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 5:44 PM, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic < ivan.miljenovic@gmail.com> wrote:

to template from database. It seems that toString method produces not UTF-8 encoded string, because if i use Codec.Binary.UTF8.String.encodeString i get correct output except for values from database.

What is your OSs locale? As of 6.12.1, GHC defaults to doing IO using the system's locale, which means you might be doubly encoding the String.
