Haskell source code uses the Unicode character set. However, current implementations either support only one encoding (e.g. UTF-8), or require the encoding to be signified via out-of-band means, which makes Haskell source code non-portable.

- Ensures uniform treatment of Unicode in source code.

- Disallows implicit ISO-8859-\* encodings in source code, ensuring portability.

## Cons

- Mandating a minimum support for UTF-8/UTF-16 places an implementation burden on compiler writers.
|
|
|
|
- Existing code relying on a non-UTF8, locale-/implementation-specific encoding will need conversion. |
