[Haskell] Unicode advice request

[László Kálmán]

Dear Don,

thanks very much!

My program may not be the only one writing into the database.  But I now 
*read* from the database using utf8-string, which solves the problem:

import Codec.Binary.UTF8.String ( decodeString )

then (decodeString $ fromSql sqlString) returns the correct string.

Unfortunately, utf8-string is not part of my ghc distribution (6-6-1, 
Ubuntu), and my repositories also don't contain it.  I had to download 
it from 
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string-0.2 
and install it by hand.  (This may not be the optimal solution, though.)

[Of course, the charset=utf-8 content type was included in the header 
from the outset.]

Best regards and thanks again for the immediate help -- L. Kalman
