Encoding

Hello

I'm running a MacMini (mid 11) with system 10.6.8

For testing purposes, I have:
1. A plistfile called AAA.plist
2. Therein a single key called Testkey (class string)
3. A script for writing to AAA
4. A script for reading the value of Testkey

My two scripts work both fine, with the exception, that the script for reading back does not recognise special characters like the German Umlauts.

TESTING WRITE:
do shell script ("defaults write AAA Testkey " & "ÖÜÄöüä") <--That are the German Umlauts, upper and lower case
Result: The correct representation of the characters


TESTING READ
set version to 1
if version = 1 then set x to (do shell script ("defaults read AAA Testkey"))
if version = 2 then set x to (do shell script ("defaults read AAA " & quoted form of "Testkey"))
if version = 3 then set x to (do shell script ("defaults read AAA " & "Testkey"))
if version = 4 then set x to quoted form of (do shell script ("defaults read AAA Testkey"))

return x
Result of all versions:  "\\326\\334\\304\\366\\374\\344"

I have also tried with "echo" and googled hours in Internet for Encoding problems, but with no success.
What else do I have to do?
Thanks for councel

Rudolf
