            Bug ID: 28898
           Summary: LLDB_EDITLINE_USE_WCHAR should be enabled on Arch.
           Product: lldb
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org

Reporting upstream bug filed in Archlinux:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49974?project=0 .
And same issue asked on SO:
http://superuser.com/questions/1098503/characters-turn-into-unicode-in-gnome-terminal-with-lldb

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:
