I manipulate with some files containing UTF8 characters. The only commands I run are these:
./some-cmd < ../some-dir/utf8-containing-file-name.txt
vim ../some-dir/utf8-containing-file-name.txt

After a while of running of such commands, and going back and forth in history and rerunning them, the history becomes messed up. The 'unkown character' question mark appears in the middle, some of them become concatenated. History becomes unusable.

I am sure you will be able to reproduce this. Otherwise is kind of hard to create a test case for this kind of problem. But I am sure bash doesn't treat command, or some part of it, as utf8, and confuses number of characters and number of bytes.

bash-4.2.45_1
