UTF-8

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
The simplest solution seems to be to use the utf8-string package from Galois. It
provides a drop-in replacement for System.IO
What about other string encodings?
Example
If we use a function from System.IO.UTF8, we should also hide the equivalent one from the Prelude. (Alternatively, we could import the UTF8 module qualified)
> import System.IO.UTF8
> import Prelude hiding (readFile, writeFile)
> import System.Environment (getArgs)
The readFile and writeFile functions are the same as before...
> main :: IO ()
> main =
> do args <- getArgs
> mapM_ reverseUTF8File args
> reverseUTF8File :: FilePath -> IO ()
> reverseUTF8File f =
> do c <- readFile f
> writeFile (f ++ ".rev") $ reverseLines c
> where
> reverseLines = unlines . map reverse . lines
