emacs 23 and german chars

[Hadron]

Since moving to emacs 23, german characters are not displayed and I cant
type them. Nothing changed in my .emacs.

I see all sorts of escape sequences now e.g

\223s in the middle of posts/articles.

Where do I start to address this?

ok, its not a font problem. C-x 8 C-h revealed

C-x 8 ` U	Ù

But why does emacs not insert the proper accented character when I press
that key on the keyboard anymore?

Try "emacs -Q" and see if it helps.  If it does, something in your
.emacs is incompatible with Emacs 23.

If "emacs -Q" exhibits the same problem, I suggest to take this to
emacs-devel@gnu.org, since Emacs 23 is still in its infancy, and only
its active developers can help you efficiently.

Thanks Eli - in emacs -Q, it works fine.
