My bash also won't read the .inputrc file but after some searching I
found a solution. To set the output/convert-meta etc. you can use:

bind 'set meta-flag on'
bind 'set convert-meta off'
bind 'set output-meta on'

I placed these in my .bashrc and now the scandinavian letters work fine.
As do £, ½ and the accents. Tilde, § and ¤ remain disfunctional but
luckily there isn't that much need for them (at least for me).
