in thread trouble with umlauts

Something like this could be the problem here. one of our root people checked what happened to an ö, and it changed somehow its value to two characters. But why does it match every second time?

By the way, where can i find the hexcodes for the umlauts and the esszet?

    "where can i find the hexcodes for the umlauts and the esszet?" 

    sprintf("%lx",ord('X')); # That's an ell, not a one.

    That should give you the hex value of the character 'X'.

    Everything will go worng!
