Now I'm getting a bit confused here. To summarize, what encoding does
GHC 6.8.2 use for [Char]? UCS-32?

What *does* matter to the programmer is what encodings putStr and
getLine use. AFAIK, they use "lower 8 bits of unicode code point" which
is almost functionally equivalent to latin-1.
Which is terrible! You should have to be explicit about what encoding
you expect. Python 3000 does it right.
No arguments there.
Presumably there wasn't a sufficiently good answer available in time for
haskell98.
