valueencode :: String -> [Word8]

Encode a Haskell String to a list of Word8 values, in UTF8 format.

valuedecode :: [Word8] -> String

Decode a UTF8 string packed into a list of Word8 values, directly to String

valueencodeString :: String -> String

Encode a string using encode and store the result in a String.

valuedecodeString :: String -> String

Decode a string using decode using a String as input. This is not safe but it is necessary if UTF-8 encoded text has been loaded into a String prior to being decoded.

valueencodeChar :: Char -> [Word8]

Encode a single Haskell Char to a list of Word8 values, in UTF8 format.

valueisUTF8Encoded :: String -> Bool

isUTF8Encoded str tries to recognize input string as being in UTF-8 form.

valueutf8Encode :: String -> String

utf8Encode str is a convenience function; checks to see if str isn't UTF-8 encoded before doing so. Sometimes useful, but you are better off keeping track of the encoding so as to avoid the cost of checking.
