#3741: ghci misinterprets "early" unicode characters
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: brian | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: GHCi
Version: 6.10.4 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
It seems as if ghci misinterprets unicode characters if they occur too
early in a source file.
{{{
$ cat test.hs
--data A = A -- example will not work if this line is commented
笑 :: [a] -> Int
笑 = length
}}}
{{{
$ ghci test.hs

Uncommenting the first line makes the problem go away.
