Contrary to appearances, the third argument to set-input-mode is not boolean. According to the docstring, Its meaning is: nil -- ignore 8th bit altogether t -- interpret 8th bit as the meta modifier (the default) anything else -- just insert 8-bit chars without interpreting them specially. That is why my example used a funny symbol rather than just t.
