One program that fails is `hledger'. (http://hledger.org/)
I installed it with `cabal install hledger'. First it seemingly builds
correctly. Then a  simple `./hledger' should display my ledger file with
accounts and the according totals -- with the euro currency symbol.
It should look like this:

        €4.50  misc

But no, the currency symbol is substituted:

        â¬4.50  misc

In ghci:

whatareumlauts = "ä, ö and ü"

*Main> whatareumlauts 
"\228, \246 and \252"
