Hello Simon,

it's what i've found in Jun15 sources:

#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__
getArgs :: IO [String]
getArgs =
  alloca $ \ p_argc ->
  alloca $ \ p_argv -> do
   getProgArgv p_argc p_argv
   p    <- fromIntegral `liftM` peek p_argc
   argv <- peek p_argv
   peekArray (p - 1) (advancePtr argv 1) >>= mapM peekCString


foreign import ccall unsafe "getProgArgv"
  getProgArgv :: Ptr CInt -> Ptr (Ptr CString) -> IO ()


it uses peekCString so by any means it cannot produce unicode chars
