1. You need to use "chcp 65001" to set the console code page to UTF8<br>
2. It is very likely that your Windows console won't have the fonts<br>
required to actually make sense of the output. Pipe the output to<br>
foo.txt. If you open this file in notepad you will see the correct<br>
characters show up.<br>

<br>
it will work even without chcp. afaik nor ghc nor windows adjusts text<br>
being output to current console codepage<br>

GHC certainly does. We use GetConsoleCP() when deciding what code page to use by default - see libraries/base/GHC/IO/Encoding/CodePage.hs.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This can actually be quite helpful.
