Comment(by igloo):
"truncate" here means it just takes the low 8 bits of each `Char`:
{{{
import System.Process
testUnicode :: String -> IO ()
testUnicode str = do str' <- readProcess "echo" [str] ""
print (length str, length str')
print (str, str')
}}}
It's not clear to me that UTF8 encoding is the right thing to do.
Shouldn't there be a low level function which takes `[Word8]` rather than
`String`, and then perhaps a `String` function on top of that which does
UTF8 encoding?
