It's honestly best for almost all strings to be put into a Localizable.strings file. This way all you have to do is simply

set foobar to localized string "foo" from table "Localizable"

This will not only account for German diacritics (which can be typed into a script file, as German only uses ÄäÖöÜüß outside of the standard English alphabet,) but also non-Roman script alphabets and even certain Roman-scripts (such as Hungarian or Icelandic) whose letters and diacritics are not covered by the standard text encoding.

As well, it will also make your app more localisable to other languages, and according to Apple this is a Good Thing™.

Really weird… when I type the same sentence on my computer, the dialog text is displayed correctly (maybe you're using an older version of ASS), but however, this might be your solution:

set x to "Safari läuft nicht" as Unicode text
display dialog x

Cheers,

Hi everybody,
I´m from Germany and in our language we have dicritical characters.

I have this in my app:
display dialog "Safari läuft nicht"

At runtime I get this: "Safari l√§ft nicht"

How can I avoid this? Any hints?

tia AAAA, regards Ronald
