Some characters break the output of lolcat (stops before that certain char)

[Maxr1998]

E.g. echo "abcßdef" | lolcat only prints abc. Same for ä, ö, ü, …, €, §, emojis, etc.

I can't reproduce this, but this sounds like a locale issue. lolcat-c is forcing UTF-8 locale by default because too many people have their locale incorrectly set to ASCII-only. Maybe try $ lolcat -l instead and if that didn't work tell me what $ locale outputs on your system.

lolcat -l works fine, just tested it. Here's the output of my locale:

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I made small change which fixed this issue (in my case at least). It doesn't work when LANG is not set though.

[Maxr1998]

Yep, that fixes it for me as well.

[mtvrsh]

I think this happens when one doesn't have C.UTF-8 locale enabled.
@Maxr1998 Do you have C.UTF-8 enabled in your system?

[Maxr1998]

Nope, and it seems that according to commercialhaskell/stack#856 that locale isn't support on Arch.

Ok then, I will open PR for this.
