  I have...

LANG=is

  ...and just tried bash.  It allowed me to enter accented characters.
Even tried with LANG set to es_ES, no problem there either.  Are you sure
your locale data is correct?

try this code...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <locale.h>

main()
{
  printf("Locale is %s\n", setlocale(LC_ALL, ""));
  printf("The uppercase of ñ = %c\n", toupper('ñ'));
}

...with LC_ALL set to "es_ES".  If it displays the correct upper case
character Ñ, then your LC_CTYPE is set correctly.  Else, note what
it says your locale is.

  Try combinations, like "iso-8859-1".
