It is bash specific - readline problem. It's not set up properly
for non-root users.
Try `pico -w` and test there :) Works? OK. :)

Check ~/.inputrc for root and for user.
In both should be the following lines:

=====================
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
set input-meta on
=====================

By default ~/.inputrc is used but you can overwrite it by setting
INPUTRC variable (set the filename for readline startup file,
overriding the default of ~/.inputrc)
