Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed, with 4.4 and with the development version. I think you are right
that it is specific to Cyrillic characters.

In fact it seems to be specific to Cyrillic characters whose UTF-8 encoding
starts with the byte 0xD0. These are the 64 characters with UTF-16 code point
U+0400 through U+043F.

The first byte is being interpreted by the readline library as some kind of
control character. On my system it seems to do something similar to the Up
arrow key or the Ctrl+P binding.

Running octave with --no-line-editing disables readline and allows this to
work.

Have you tried experimenting with different readline settings?
