Try using
hSetBuffering handle NoBuffering
hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering
from the IO library, before you call printchar. If the input handle
is attached to a terminal, you may also need to adjust the terminal
emulation into `cbreak' mode, e.g. with
System.system "stty cbreak"
Don't forget to reset the terminal afterwards!
