GHC 6.5 stage 2 lexical error in Lexer.x

[Vivian McPhail]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to add variable brackets (analogous to variable infix operators)
to GHC 6.5.  I was trickling along slowly but now I’m at a loss.  I don’t
understand Unicode encoding so don’t understand how to fix this error
message:

parser/Lexer.x:593:10:

    lexical error in string/character literal at character '\8759'

Source of error:

 

#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 605

       ,("λ",         ITlam,          bit glaExtsBit)

       ,("â·",   ITdcolon,       bit glaExtsBit)

 

 

Any help appreciated!
