The problem is that GHC's output functions only print the lowest 8
bits of each code point. To print these higher code points, you'll
need to translate your [Char] into a byte encoding that your terminal
will understand (most likely UTF-8). I know there are several of
these floating around in the wild, hopefully someone will chime in
with a code snippet soon. Also, I seem to remember that Bulat's
Streams library supports some Unicode encodings, perhaps you can
check there?

Hello,
I am trying to make a program that outputs some Unicode characters
but the
output doesn't match what I try to print.
Attached is a little test program. It tries to print the arrows
"←↑→↓" but
instead it outputs "\220\221\222\223" (that is, character number
220, then
221, then 222). I've also tried writing the Unicode code points
(although GHC
6.6 should deal just fine with Unicode source code) and I get the same
result. In case anybody wants to try, this would be the
string: "\8592\8593\8594\8595".
I am also attaching the output file, you can see that the contents
are not
right.
Any ideas what am I doing wrong here ?
Thank you.
