Re: [Haskell-cafe] putStrLn "ß"

[anderson leo]

I've tested haskell on CJK system. For CJK characters, the IO can work great
on file, but awfully on console. I think it is the matter from Winodws.
We can not set utf8 on Windows like linux, instead of that they use code
page. It looks that greek characters doesnot support on your system. You
shall turn on the support in Console Panel/Regional and Language Options.
Sorry for my english, it's not great.
