Some more trial and error that worked.
I had the below in my thinkpad ~/.bashrc:

Instead, I put it in my ~/.inputrc, but like this:
set output-meta on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
These variable settings make readline accept 8-bit characters, as I
understand.
Now, on bash shell command line, when I type 'c, I see c with cedilla.
The loadkeys and consolechars commands, as above, remain in the
.bashrc.
