Hi,

if I use 

(insert (string-make-multibyte "Umlaut: ü"))

it now works with Emacs 23.2 (Windows). However, the question remains why "string-make-multibyte" is apparently not required when using Aquamacs 2.0 (Emacs 23.2) and with Emacs 23.1 (Ubuntu). The Windows version assumes a different encoding for the insert text?

Warm regards,
 Stefan
