Yes, it’s a pity. For me, it’s not such a big problem since I don’t write my 
Haddock comments in my native language (German) but in English. I only 
experience this problem because I use nice typography, i.e., “ ” – instead 
of " " -.

GHC supports UTF-8 input, and Haddock uses GHC nowadays. So, in my opinion, 
Haddock should also support UTF-8 input. Do you want to file a feature 
request?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
