Thanks for the bug report. The problem is that your Mac configuration
isn't telling us that you are using UTF-8.

I can go into details, but the summary is:

export LANG=xx_XX.UTF-8

(For me xx_XX is LANG=en_US.UTF-8, though I'm guessing yours might be
something like fr_FR.UTF-8).

It seems that the Mac terminal always works in UTF-8, but they have no
configuration which reports that to any programs that are run.

I usually put that line in my ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

bzr uses your current locale to figure out what format commit
messages/command line parameters/etc are in. So you should be able to
tell it the correct values that way.

Also, if you are using the standard mac terminal, I've been able to type
unicode characters just by using the "alt/option" key in combination
with a letter. alt + c == ç, etc. At least, that is true for my laptop.
(Which I'm typing this email on :)
