I've now read that page. As UTF-8 is generally the preferred charset, I would like to stick to it. Does changing the language, e.g. to de_CH, change umlaut handling? It doesn't seem to, here.
It does, though. If you read the page you have learned that setting LANG to just a language (de_CH), without a charset (.UTF-8) will set the character set to the Windows codepage which is the default ANSI codepage on your machine. In your case this is probably CP1252. If you want to be sure to use UTF-8, then say so: export LANG=de_CH.UTF-8.
