Description Peter Eriksson 2020-06-22 08:38:58 UTC 
When building a simple test program (at least when using libedit's readline compatibility code) it mishandles Unicode characters.

% touch räksmörgås.txt

% cc -I/usr/local/include -DUSE_LIBREADLINE=1 -o tr tr.c -L/usr/local/lib -lreadline
% ./tr
>räksmörgås.txt 
18 bytes

% cc -I/usr/local/include -DUSE_LIBEDIT -o tr tr.c -L/usr/local/lib -ledit
% ./tr
>r\U+00C3\U+00A4ksm\U+00C3\U+00B6rg\U+00C3\U+00A5s.txt 
18 bytes

(type "r" then TAB for tab-completion).

Also libedit doesn't really allow me to enter non us-ascii characters at all.

This is different behaviour from gnu readline (see the attached simple test program). 

Behavior is the same on FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE and CURRENT.

SOrry for the delay responding to that PR, to you have your tr.c file here so I can test ?
