+Make sure stack knows how to access your system's locale (or you might run into errors when building):
+
+    stack --nix exec -- locale
+
+If the variables listed under this command are not set appropriately (i.e. `LANG="POSIX"`, etc.), make sure to run stack from a shell that does assign them as needed. For example in your project's `shell.nix`:
+
+```nix
+shellHook = ''
+  export LOCALE_ARCHIVE="${pkgs.glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive";
+  export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
