The code in question contains Chinese characters like 'δΈ‰', which in a US-ASCII encoded Haskell file must be written as '\x4e09'. I do not consider these escape sequences an acceptable substitute. But this discussion is tangential to the proposal. I am interested in having a common set of guidelines to ensure interoperability of Haskell sources. An important part of that is having a common method of decoding files containing Haskell code. The easiest way to achieve that is using only 1 encoding. UTF-8 is the best candidate for that role. _______________________________________________ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
