Finally, you need to tell readline that you will be inputting and
displaying eight-bit characters. You use readline variables to do

this. convert-meta says what to do if you read a character with its
eighth bit set. input-meta says whether to permit characters with the
eighth bit at all. output-meta determines how to display characters

bash$ bind 'set meta-flag on'
bash$ bind 'set input-meta on'
bash$ bind 'set output-meta on'
