Then don't use show, output characters directly (putChar, putStr).

In theory yes, but there is no library infrastructure for conversion
between Unicode and external byte encodings yet. For most programs
which work with a single encoding it doesn't hurt, although they are
misusing Char values if the encoding is not ISO-8859-1.
