#3797: ByteString.Char8 damages Unicode

* resolution: => invalid
Comment:
This is the expected behaviour, and documented. Bytestrings when packing
will truncate the input to 8 bits. If you require a specific encoding,
pre-process the string first with e.g. utf8-string or else use the unicode
bytestring package: Data.Text.
