I wrote a simple Unicode library for my MSc project a couple of
years ago. It might not compile with recent GHC, but you can have a

I have implemented UTF8-encode/decode. Unlike the code someone has already
posted it handles all UTF8 sequences, including those longer than 3 bytes.
It also catches all illegal UTF8 sequences (such as characters encoded

I am writing some utilities to deal with UTF-8 encoded text files (not
source). Currently, I'm just reading in the UTF-8 directly, and things
work reasonably well, since my parse tokens are ASCII, they are easy to
parse.
However, the character type seems perfectly happy with larger values for
