Some unicode symbols are not allow in literal characters or strings
main = putChar 'ₖ'
This program is rejected with following error message: lexical error in string/character literal at character '\8342'
There is at least a few other characters with the same issue, for
instance this whole string should be accepted:
"ₕₖₗₘₙₒₚᵣₛₜᵤᵥₓ"
A related issue is that GHCi do not let me paste these characters either.
