Excuse me if this question is misplaced or too trivial.

I'm writing a CGI program in Haskell (CGI/HDBC/Sqlite3), the database 
contains  UTF-8 strings.  If I use HDBC.fetchRow() to retrieve the data, 
then HDBC.fromSql() to convert the data to Haskell, then Text.XHtml 
constructs to dsplay it, I get wrong results in the browser (ASCII 
rendering of UTF-8 characters, which looks like garbage).  What is the 
way to do this correctly?

Thanks -- L. Kalman
