Comment(by judahj):
I could reproduce the issue with ghc-7.0.3 and ghc-7.0.4.
I looked into this since it seemed to be affecting Haskeline too. The
cause (for both problems) was that older versions of GHC support a older
version of Unicode:
{{{
$ ghc-7.0.3 -e "Data.Char.generalCategory '\8342'"
NotAssigned
$ ghc-7.0.4 -e "Data.Char.generalCategory '\8342'"
NotAssigned
$ ghc-7.2.1 -e "Data.Char.generalCategory '\8342'"
ModifierLetter
}}}
So if you want to use those characters, you will probably need to upgrade
to ghc-7.2.1.
