+# The root cause of the problem is in hledger-lib/Hledger/Utils.hs
+# (embedFileRelative). It uses embedStringFile from file-embed
+# (devel/hs-file-embed) but without changing the locale encoding to
+# UTF-8, and the file to be embedded
+# (hledger/embeddedfiles/hledger.info) does contain non-ASCII
+# characters. Using with-utf8
+# (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/with-utf8) is probably the best
+# solution.
