If I just open a new file ("emacs test"), press à, and then press C-h l, 
here is what I see in the Help buffer:

C-v C-h l

But the problem happens in two different remote terminals (and also 
locally), and the same 8-bit chars work fine on the command line in 
those same terminals...

OSX Terminal, which is configured as xterm-color.

I now tried also from PuTTy (configured as xterm) on a Windows machine, 
and hitting à appears to send different stuff:

M-C M-SPC C-h l

I currently can't try logging in locally, I'm far from the machine. But 
I can tell you that, while in the remote terminals I get an "End of 
buffer" message in emacs when I press à, in the local terminal some 
chars where actually entered, I can't remember which ones, but I think 
they were a variant of the upper case A plus a symbol, each time I 
pressed à.

Thanks for your help.
