Replicated: strawberry perl -v => This is perl 5, version 40, subversion 0 (v5.40.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread : same results as OP under Windows Terminal & cmd.exe or Windows Terminal & powershell

CP437 only has § in the 0x15, which is in the control codes section, so maybe upder CP437, it's being treated as a NAK which might confuse Term::ReadLine

Switching back to powershell, the chcp 65001 doesn't fix everything, because when I paste in 

x "§"

[download]
I get 
x "§"

Specifically:

PS C:\Users\pryrt> chcp

PS C:\Users\pryrt> chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001
PS C:\Users\pryrt> perl -wde 1

main::(-e:1):   1

0  '§'
  DB<2> x Win32::GetACP()
0  1252
  DB<3> x Win32::GetOEMCP()
0  437
  DB<4> x Win32::GetConsoleCP()
0  65001
  DB<5> x Win32::GetConsoleOutputCP()
0  437

when looking at the same Win32 functions under the now-working cmd.exe environment, the difference is that Win32::GetConsoleOutputCP() is 65001, not 437.

So then in the powershell window, I tried: 

  DB<6> Win32::SetConsoleOutputCP(65001)

  DB<7> x "§"
0  '§'

Yep.

Hope this helps.

edits: fix code/pre tags to get § to show up right in the various locations
