Hello! I use emacs with evil-mode, a minor mode package that adds vim-ish
keybindings for navigation and editing text. I have a BR-ABNT2 keyboard
and noticed my workflow would get more efficient if I bound the ç key to
what the : key would normally do. And so I did. But I noticed that, if I
enter a terminal frame and the first key to be typed is ç, strange
characters appear on the screen (usually a combination of Ã, § and
\247). This is probably an encoding-related problem but I don't know how
to proceed.

Note: I've tested the bug on a fresh emacsclient (emacs --daemon -Q &&
emacsclient -t) and a standalone emacs terminal frame (emacs -Q -nw) and
it happens in both, even without loading any personal init.el file.
