You have the possibility to store Unicode codepoints as values of type Char in GHC. This is a a little Unicode support which you don't have with 8-bit chars. > [...] > Right now, values of type Char are, in reality, ISO Latin-1 codepoints > padded out to 4 bytes per char. No, because this would mean that you wouldn't have chars with codes greater than 255 which is not the case with GHC. > [...] But, of course, I agree with you that currently the main part of Unicode support is missing.
