One may wonder which of them was used
in Haskell compilers. Did they take
only Lu characters, or were they
carefull to accept all Uppercase?

All characters with general category Lu have the property Uppercase, but
the converse is not true.

You can't determine Unicode character properties by analyzing the
names of the characters.
However, the OP *does* have a copy of the UnicodeData...txt file,
and you *can* determine the relevant Unicode character properties from
that.
For example, consider the entry for space:
0020;SPACE;Zs;0;WS;;;;;N;;;;;
^^
The Zs bit says it's a white space character
(Zs: separator/space, Zl: separator/line, Zp:
separator/paragraph).
Or look at capital A:
0041;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;;;;0061;^
^^
The Lu bit says it's a L(etter) that is u(pper case).
Upper case: Lu, lower case: Ll, title case: Lt,
modifier letter: Lm, other letter: Lo, digit: Nd,
...
If memory serves me correctly, this is explained in the
UnicodeData.html file, under a heading something like
Normative Categories.
