Comment (by cal@…):

 Try `unset LC_CTYPE` (and possibly also `unset LC_ALL`) before starting
 neomutt.

 It seems that a number of Terminals have a feature to helpfully
 automatically set the locale variables, but end up setting them to an
 unsupported value. Not setting them does not cause problems, but setting
 them to unsupported values renders special characters broken. I bisected
 this to
 https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/commit/f28b4cace4a1f26eace3120ae08e0b943557139f,
 which comes from mutt upstream, so is not a neomutt problem.

 In iTerm, unticking "Preferences > Profiles > $yourprofile > Terminal >
 Environment > Set locale variables automatically" and opening a new Shell
 session fixed this for me. Terminal.app has a similar setting.
