The ominous capital C with lowered diaeresis is described as:

         character: O (79, #o117, #x4f)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
        code point: 0x4F
            syntax: w 	which means: word
          category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 IRV:1983 
[4/0]) l:Latin
		   r:Japanese roman
       buffer code: #x4F
         file code: #x4F (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
           display: by this font (glyph code)
     x:-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-m-60- 
iso10646-1 (#x4F)

Character code properties: customize what to show

The month name März in a file's date is displayed correctly as Mär.  
Mac OS X 10.4.11, same effect in HFS+ and UFS file systems. Same for  
´, `, ^, and ~ accents.
