GHC displays Unicode improperly

Summary

When I enter a bottom character (Unicode x22A5) GHC responds with '\8869'. Yet in another situation, it does display ⊥. So GHC is capable of displaying Unicode characters but chooses not to. And displays them in decimal instead of hexidecimal.

Steps to reproduce

Enter '\x22a5'.

Should see ⊥

What do you expect the reproducer described above to do?

Environment
