Mainly xterm (version 225, at least in one case). And I have the utf8
option on. Does this set the encoding to the proper value, or do I need
more?
But also, I have tried this in the simple virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f1,
etc.), which also exhibits the problem. Not sure what encoding is used
there.

I suspect the Gentoo/FreeBSD baselayout doesn't have this (since it is
missing on both of my systems). Perhaps it's Linux-only? If it should
exist on BSD, I'll talk to the baselayout guy.

I made a .inputrc with the above contents and then ran bash. Same results.

Maybe, I thought of that at one point. I'm using readline 5.2_p4.
Also, I've always had the unicode USE flag in my make.conf, so at least
that's always been enabled.

I was indeed using version 5.6. I downgraded to 5.5-r3, but same results.
