Problem / Steps to reproduce

Specifically I use bash from git for windows. OS: Win 10 Terminal:

  1. Windows Terminal (1.20.11271.0)
  2. mintty 3.7.0 (shipped with git for windows)

When I hit CTRL+T and try to input greek characters they appear in the prompt either transliterated to their equivalent ascii (eg α becomes a) or printed as the ? character. This happens with both terminals.

Both terminals are able to print greek characters (eg ls a folder with greek filenames) and are able to take greek input in their prompts. So the issue is with fzf's prompt.
