I don't understand why emacs should need all that. There are locales and
they define a system charset, emacs should use that as default.

It gets M-| for the 'ü', '|' is 0x7C and 'ü' ist 0xFC, so the 8th bit is
ignored.
Does emacs care for readline settings?

No, the locale de_DE@euro has ISO-8859-15 as character set, nothing fancy.
I really want to get that guy that said that ASCII and thus 7bit is a useful
default :-(((((
