Hello Max,

1. You need to use "chcp 65001" to set the console code page to UTF8

it will work even without chcp. afaik nor ghc nor windows adjusts text
being output to current console codepage
GHC certainly does. We use GetConsoleCP() when deciding what code page
to use by default - see libraries/base/GHC/IO/Encoding/CodePage.hs.
Windows Consoles use Unicode internally. I presume at some point
between WriteFile() and the console some decoding is supposed to happen,
but I don't know where that is, or how well it works (other evidence on
this thread suggests not very well).
Cheers,
Simon
