    Invalid byte sequence sounds like a locale issue (see this blog post).
  • What Is IO Monad?

    The real fix will happen when Data.Text moves from UTF-16 to UTF-8:

    https://discourse.haskell.org/t/hf-tech-proposal-1-utf-8-enc...

    Fortunately this proposal has been accepted, but I don't know the timeline for its implementation in GHC.

    Until then, working with UTF-8 is kind of convoluted

    https://serokell.io/blog/haskell-with-utf8

    Also: libraries need to be fixed to accept Data.Text instead of String. IsString helps (it's a typeclass that contains all string types) but only if APIs take it instead of defaulting to String. Adding random string conversions to cope with legacy APIs is very annoying.

  • Where can I look for help?

    Agda is written in Haskell, and the quoted error message is a common problem with applications written in Haskell. You probably have an environment variable like LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL which is set to an unusual value. I'd try setting LANG, LC_CTYPE and LC_ALL to en_US.utf8.
