Description (Last modified by igloo)

When I try to load a file with a UTF-8 character, I got: 

Prelude> :load Público/codigo/haskell/Hora.hs

<no location info>: can't find file: P�blico/codigo/haskell/Hora.hs

With the command line it goes fine: 

malebria@quindinho:~$ ghci Público/codigo/haskell/Hora.hs
GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
[1 of 1] Compiling Hora             ( Público/codigo/haskell/Hora.hs, interpreted )

Thanks for the report. I suspect that this is because the IO functions ignore all but the low 8 bits of Strings. We should do something to make this work.
