'meta-flag' is a synonym for 'input-meta', so you don't need both.

Looks like the font you're using doesn't have the necessary glyphs, so
Windows substitutes the closest it can think of.

Here 's what I'm getting both with the default console font and with
"Lucida Console":

$ echo -e "\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC3\xC4\xC5\xC6\xC7"
=C3=80=C3=81=C3=82=C3=83=C3=83=C3=84=C3=85=C3=86=C3=87
