can't use combining characters in identifiers
ghc doesn't let me use combining characters in unicode identifiers. Here's a test case with U+308 (COMBINING DIAERESIS) but it affects all accents:
% cat comb.hs
main = print spın̈alTap
where spın̈alTap = 11
% ghc comb.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( comb.hs, comb.o )
comb.hs:1:18: lexical error at character '\776'
(This is actually with ghc 7.6.2 but the Version
drop-down only goes up to 7.6.1.)
