>Description:
When starting the mysql client, I could not input any Scandinavian
characters, like זרו.  Even if these characters are inputable in the
bash shell.  Readline in a bash shell first reads the /etc/inputrc and
then the ~/.inputrc.  Thus, most configurations are placed in
/etc/inputrc.  However, the readline in mysql client does not read the
system wide configuration.  (Three lines in inputrc are essential for
readline to recognize 8 bits characters:
  set input-meta on
  set output-meta on
  set convert-meta off)

                
>How-To-Repeat:
You could play around with "set input-meta..." and so on, but easiest
to demonstrate is as follows:

  touch /etc/inputrc
  touch ~/.inputrc
  sleep 60
  date
  ls -lu /etc/inputrc ~/.inputrc

and see for yourselves.  (Do the same by starting bash.)
        
        
>Fix:
Include the necessary lines in ~/.inputrc.  (Solves the symptoms, but
is awkward.)
