Not a mintty issue. MSYS's bash/readline by default is set up to interpret the
most significant bit of each byte received as the so-called meta bit, which
conflicts with input of non-ASCII characters. Fix this by putting the following
into your ~/.inputrc:
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off
(meta-flag and input-meta are synonyms, so you actually only need on of those.)
Btw, this works properly out-of-the-box in Cygwin, which unlike MSYS has proper
locale and Unicode support.
