I am new to utf8. So I haven't read enough about it.
Please correct my mistakes if I make any.
I just looked into the code and just ran the code on paper.
1)is  "è" a single byte? (maybe 2 as even I copy paste it disabling utf8 
to delete it I had to press 2 backspaces to delete the garbage value 
printed)
Just an explanation why I thought that might be the case:
ch ^] would store "ch" in shard as usual
It checks in that line for ch. It matches and exits the second for 
loop(with j as iterator) successfully as ch exists in both.
Then it checks if next byte is a mb_char or not(Which surprisingly 
returns true) and then it is copied in the completion and thus its 
length becomes 3 bytes and it is output is seen on screen.
(note: if it is two bytes. the second byte was not a word forming 
character thats why it signaled the end of word).

Also, after the git pull.
if i do ./autogen.sh;./configure;make;
It says that using_utf8 not declared. I think it should be as I have 
attached in the patch. I might have been mistaken even.

Also,
./configure --enable-utf8
put this on the terminal.
