Hello,
I have a problem using sed to replace umlaut characters in a text 
file. sed works as expected except for capital Ä (ascii 0196) and 
capital Ü (ascii 0220). These two characters remain unchanged. I 
am using Cygwin B20.1, and bash displays umlaut characters 
correctly (although I could't issue the relevant settings in ~./inputrc 
but had to set them via bind in ~./bashrc). The sed command line 
looks like

sed -e s/Ä/&Auml;/g foo.html

I have played around with several quoting variants as well as with 
echo -e "\304" as first argument to the s command, but with no 
results.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions,
Regards,
Bernhard Bruemmer
