Good morning,
The following haskell program :
--<<
module Main where
accentLetters :: String
accentLetters = "éàô"
main :: IO ()
main = do putStr (show accentLetters)
-->>
after being compiled will give the result :
"\233\224\244

Good afternoon,
Well, I think there should probably be some internationalisation mechanism that
tells the "show" function (to name one), according to some configuration, how
to interpret a byte as a character.
Frankly, I see no good reason why we should be satisfied we the dinosaurus 7
bits ex

My understanding is tha
Good evening,
OK. I don't know Haskell enough to argue.
But I can't resist pointing out that reading a single byte having the value 233
(that is 'é') is certainly simpler than reading the four characters "\233",
parse it, and translate it into a single byte having the value 233 representing

The problem is that if you are reading single bytes, 233 is
not necessarily é.
I would support the point of view that show should output escapes when
showing characters outside ASCII. This is sort of a "transport" format
(together with read), therefore it must be a GCD for all possible input
encodings.
UTF-8 might be alternative, but it would require to be equally support

Sometimes, I want to do cheap and dirty test programs that "show

An instance of Show should (but doessn't have to):
- generate a rendering of its argument as a String that
(a) follows the Haskell lexical syntax, and
(b) with an appropriate instance of Read can reconstruct the
