And same issue asked on SO:

Extract from arch bug report:

Description:
After upgrading to [[libedit 20160618_3.1]] lldb no longer recognizes
characters correctly. Instead they are shown (and handled as) weird unicode
escape sequences, e.g. "\U+96272\U+96275\U+9626E" instead of "run". The exact
numbers also seem to change between restarts but the last two numbers always
represent the correct ascii hex code.

...

The NetBSD upstream for my package [..libedit..] now only build with unicode
(wide-char/UTF-8) support.
So it looks like LLDB_EDITLINE_USE_WCHAR=1 should be used on Arch Linux:
