Incorrect Unicode input on Windows Console

To reproduce:

  • start a windows console

  • change the console's font to a ttf unicode font, like "Lucida Console".

  • type "chcp 65001" to set it to the UTF-8 code page.

  • start ghci (same error appears when running compiled executable)

  • > import System.IO (or GHC.IO.Handle)

  • > enc <- mkTextEncoding "UTF8"

  • > hSetEncoding stdin enc

  • > getLine

  • > Фывфыв (or any international unicode sequence)

  • ** Exception: <stdin>: hGetLine: end of file
