Haskell: output non-ascii characters

Question

I want to output non-ascii characters in WinGHCi, but this is what I get:

Prelude> "δ" "\948" Prelude> putStr "\948" *** Exception: <stdout>: hPutChar: invalid argument (character is not in the code page)

I am using WinGHCi 7.0.3 for windows xp. What do I need to make WinGHCi print a beautiful little delta?

This is a WinGHCI error. Use GHCI (console, version without GUI).

UPD : this, apparently, is not entirely correct (works for me with Greek letters, and not with Cyrillic).

 Prelude> putStrLn "\948" δ

This seems to be a windows problem that has nothing to do with haskell ...
