On what terminal are you doing this?

That should give you a default inputrc. In that file maybe these flags are relevant to your problem: set meta-flag on set input-meta on set convert-meta off set output-meta on If still no luck, then maybe your readline is broken? But first check that everyting is emerged with the unicode USE flag. Or wait, which ncurses are you using? If 5.6*, then mask it and go back to 5.5-r3 and see if that helps.
