ShortText type
Compact representation of short Strings
The data is stored internally as UTF8 in an
ShortByteString when compiled against bytestring >=
0.10.4, and otherwise the fallback is to use plain old non-compat
'[Char]'.
Note: This type is for internal uses (such as e.g. PackageName)
and shall not be exposed in Cabal's API
Since: Cabal-2.0.0.2

decodeStringUtf8 :: [Word8] -> String #
Decode String from UTF8-encoded octets.
Invalid data in the UTF8 stream (this includes code-points U+D800
through U+DFFF) will be decoded as the replacement character (U+FFFD).
See also encodeStringUtf8
encodeStringUtf8 :: String -> [Word8] #
Encode String to a list of UTF8-encoded octets
Code-points in the U+D800-U+DFFF range will be encoded
as the replacement character (i.e. U+FFFD).
