bug#1731: 23.0.60; Mac OS X problems with non-ASCII keys

[Alex Schröder]

My Mac has a Swiss German keyboard. The keys producing ASCII
characters all work. Therefore the layout is correct. But the
non-ASCII are wrong: Characters like çäöüàéè result in bogus stuff
such as Á‰ˆ¸‡ÈË.

When I use C-h k ä I get the following message:

‰ (translated from ä) is undefined

So Emacs does at some point in time recognize the ä.
