It works with the \u00FC representation, so this is another solution in
addition to using (string-make-multibyte "ü"), probably very similar in effect.
However, here is an interesting observation: that insert statement is used in a
site-lisp/site-start.el file. It produces the mentioned problem when Emacs is
started. If, in contrast, Emacs is running and I do a load-file of
site-start.el then,
(insert "Umlaut: ü")
will work exactly as observed on recent versions of Emacs on MacOS and Linux.
Warm regards,
Stefan
