    Multi-byte or not, invisible characters need to be enclosed
as documented under 'PROMPTING':

     \[     begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which  could
            be  used  to  embed  a terminal control sequence into the
            prompt
     \]     end a sequence of non-printing characters
