----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
On hackage.haskell.org, when you browse the source of a module that
contains Unicode (e.g. [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base-
unicode-symbols/latest/doc/html/src/Data-Eq-Unicode.html
Data.Eq.Unicode]), it is sent with a `Content-Type: text/html` header with
no charset. There is a charset in the XML declaration `<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>`, but that is ignored by Firefox because
of the non-XML `Content-Type`. Therefore, the wrong encoding is detected
and the Unicode symbols get mangled.
Possible fixes include sending `Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8`,
or sending `Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml` so that the XML
declaration is respected , or both (`Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml;
charset=utf-8`), or adding equivalent `<meta http-equiv="Content-Type">`
tags.
