#5519: Some unicode symbols are not allow in literal characters or strings -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ertai | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Compiler Version: 7.2.1 | Keywords: Testcase: | Blockedby: Os: Linux | Blocking: Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: None/Unknown -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- {{{ main = putChar 'ₖ' }}}
This program is rejected with following error message: lexical error in string/character literal at character '\8342' There is at least a few other characters with the same issue, for instance this whole string should be accepted: {{{ "ₕₖₗₘₙₒₚᵣₛₜᵤᵥₓ" }}} A related issue is that GHCi do not let me paste these characters either. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5519> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
