German "Umlaute" are ignored when cut and paste text in a Microcontroller editor

Copying this text in a Microcontroller editor

digiline_send("lcd", "Test: öäüß")

causes error: <invalid wide string>

I'm getting the same error.
When sending these characters to a digilines lcd, the corresponding characters are not displayed.

i don't get the <invalid wide string> thing, possibly that's due to trying to paste things in w/ a weird character encoding. the reason they don't show up in the LCD, though, is because every letter on the LCD is a separate image file, and there's no files for those letters.
