Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libreadline5
Since recently (5.2-3build1), several readline-using applications, such
as bash and zsh no longer handle 8-bit characters (such as é or ö).
Entering such a character just rings the terminal bell.
It's indeed tied to the shell, and not the terminal, as other terminal
applications such as vi, cat or hexdump do just fine. Even /bin/sh
(which does not use readline) does fine.
** Affects: readline5 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
