The fix was released in nano-8.1.  Thanks again for reporting.

Fixed in git, commit dcbbbf81, by ensuring the first return value uses 'unsigned char', like for the rest of the string.

Bug exists since commit 51c9f727: "let the handler of string binds return a byte whenever possible".

Problem was found while testing {enact}.

To reproduce, run:

echo 'bind M-P "ééé" main' >failrc

src/nano --rc=failrc -x

Then type: M-P
See that nano reports "[ Unbound key: ^^C ]" and nothing gets inserted.  (Ctrl+Ctrl+C?  That is weird.)

Now add an "e" at the start of the string bind and run the same nano command again and press M-P.  Now the string "eééé" gets inserted just fine.
