Let me guess. Realy your dialog looks like this:
yum> Is this ok [y/N]:
you> {one of your international characters} ^H {i mean 'backspace'} y
^J {i mean 'enter'}

I put my comments to {}.
I'm right?
If it's true then you have typical problem. In short words if you
input one unicode symbol you need to press backspace twice cause each
unicode symbol its two bytes. Sad but true.
