UTF-8 input problems

In general, UTF-8 characters not only do not work properly, hitting one involuntarily will give a warning, obscuring the text. Need to fix that across python 2 and 3.
For me, typing "ö" or "ø" also jumps over two characters in the given text and prints wrong characters on the input.
@felixwiemuth Does it always do this? For me, it prints an error the first time I type out a UTF-8 character, then it's ignored. Which version of Python are you using?
I use Python 3.6.4 on Linux. It always proceeds by two characters when typing these letters. It is also shown as "wrong" in red but nothing is ignored.
In the following example I have typed "aäüÖ" (that is, always where the cursor is on):
For Python 3.3+, I believe this has been fixed in commit 8629a9e.
You can try to clone the repo and type "make run3" to run the Python3 version. If that works, I'll soon prepare an official PyPi release.
Thanks, it works!
Great! Thanks for testing!
