Hi,

If I create a directory named héhé (e with combining acute accent),
and then try to complete hé into it (here é is the precombined form),
libreadline does not take care that é (e with combining acute accent) is
equivalent to é (the precombined "e with acute accent" character).

libreadline should use some unicode normal form on completion.
