= Notes on Unicode support =


As of version 0.6, Haskeline supports a wide range of encodings.  

If Haskeline doesn't appear to work correctly on your system, please file a [http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/newticket bug].

== POSIX ==
On POSIX systems, Haskeline uses the system `iconv` library to encode/decode from the console locale.  

Encodings which use more than one byte to encode the characters {{{'\n'}}} and {{{'?'}}}, such as UTF-16 or UTF-32, are not supported.  However, that restriction should not be an issue in practice, since it allows a variety of encodings including:
 - UTF-8
 - ISO-8859
 - Shift JIS
 - EUC
 - KOI8

== Windows ==
On Windows, Haskeline uses the Win32 Unicode APIs when possible; otherwise, it encodes/decodes using the console's code page.
