Okay, I was using a third-party terminal app for which I don't know how to make print out UTF8. Things are better if I use a different one. I was going to look in to how to make DrIFT read and write UTF8 regardless of locale, but the IO layer for DrIFT is surprisingly complex, so never mind that. Now compiling with jhc I end up with: hs.out_code.c:85:2: error: #error Could not determine Byte Order Attached is a patch which fixes this for me, although I only have a Mac to test it on. Antoine
