It looks to me that IDL70 is giving you two numbers equivalent to
hexnumber c3a4 which is exactly the hexcode for 'ä' in UTF-8. I guess
it can be solved if there is a way to force IDL to think in UTF-16 or
UTF-32.I'm not sure how to solve it but here's a "virtual kwyboard"
for you(http://tinyurl.com/fontart).

Ok, I understand the problem now, but, I could not find a way to solve
it...
Is there really no one else who has the same trouble? Any users from
Germany?
