Compiled software can not read UTF-8 characters using readFile when run via Upstart

Honestly I dont know if this is a problem with Upstart or ghc.

I'm Using Ubuntu 14

Create a software that reads from a file containing UTF-8 characters. Compile the program. Running the program from the terminal works but not if you run it via Upstart. It will crash with the following error: "hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)"

Minimal Example: Main.hs:

module Main where

main :: IO ()
main = readFile "ex.txt" >>= putStr

ex.txt:

å

Place ex.txt and the compiled program "Comp" in the same directory "/the/path/"

/etc/init/bug-test.conf:

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [^2345]

chdir /the/path/

exec ./Comp

If you run ./Comp from the terminal it works. But if you run "sudo service bug-test start" and then check "/var/log/upstart/bug-test.log" you will see that it has crashed.
