error messages mangle unicode characters
ghc/ghci understand source code written in UTF-8. However, an error message that contains such characters will turn them into gibberish. This is especially annoying in ghci:
*> ä
<interactive>:1:0: Not in scope: `�'
*> Ȫ
<interactive>:1:0: Not in scope: data constructor `*'
