GHCi produces a panic on printing and escaped GBP sign, and won't print gbp sign either
Prelude> putStrLn "£" � Prelude> putStrLn "\£" ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 6.10.4 for i386-unknown-linux):
charType: '\163'
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Please report this as a GHC bug:I've also compiled a bit of code with GHC that can't output GBP symbol either.
Tested with Hugs for comparison,
Hugs> putStrLn "£" £
Hugs> putStrLn "\£" ERROR - Illegal character escape sequence "\�"
I tested the outputting (not the escaping) in roxterm and xterm, and both output the question mark in a diamond symbol.
