I would have thought so, but apparently this isn't actually what happens.
GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> map Data.Char.ord "饁"
[39233] <== 0x9941
Prelude> putStrLn "饁"
A <== 0x41
It seems that GHCi is clever enough to decode UTF-8 input, which only
serves to confuse System.IO even more.
