THank you for providing that.  I've deleted spaces so that the text
representations line up under the hex representations (why od doesn't
do that I don't know; nor do I know how to make od do that).

They really ARE umlauts in Latin-1, hex a8 shown above.  Why any other
program displays them as double quotes is beyond me: od apparently
strips the high bit to display them (0xa8 becomes 0x28, which is "(");
DOS codepage 437 would show an inverted question mark.

Anyway, go into your editor, delete the "quotation marks" that are
around the string, and retype them with the " key that's probably next
to Enter on your keyboard.  Then re-do od as above to make sure that
they show up as ", hex code 22, instead of a8 or anything else.
