-# Does GNU Readline support Unicode input?  What are the limiting factors to support Unicode? -- If correctly configured, reasonably recent versions of GNU readline support UTF-8 if LC_CTYPE is set to a UTF-8 locale. Versions 6.1 and newer versions should be working if the user didn't override "meta-flag", "convert-meta", or "output-meta" (maybe also others). Having said so: Setting LC_CTYPE to a UTF-8 locale is invalid on Windows.
