This is the same - instance Show Char displays non-ASCII characters that way. You get the same effect if you just type 'ü'.
Thanks to you and John for the hints.
But what is the good reason that show is doing it that way? Wouldn't it be better to output the 'ü' as a 'ü' instead of a code? I thought that Char in Haskell is working with Unicodes?
