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
