I suspected that, too, but I have no expertise in normalization.

Thanks a lot!
That seems to solve the problem.
I have looked up the documentation of the method, but I don't really understand
it.
Could you explain it to me?
To gain more insights (I usually think it's better to understand in depth what
one is doing),
here is some more background info:
One of the strings is derived from a path, like so:
query_ = [[NSMetadataQuery alloc] NSPredicate * predicate = [NSPredicate
predicateWithFormat: @"(kMDItemContentTypeTree = 'public.image')" ];
[query_ setSearchScopes: [NSArray arrayWithObject: mainDirectoryLocation_]];
[query_ setPredicate: predicate];
[query_ startQuery];
.....
NSString * img_filename = [[query_ resultAtIndex: i] valueForAttribute:
@"kMDItemPath"];
file_basename = [[img_filename lastPathComponent]
stringByDeletingPathExtension];
The other string is derived from EXIF data, like so:
CFDictionaryRef tiff_dict;
CFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent( fileProps, kCGImagePropertyTIFFDictionary,
(const void **) & tiff_dict );
CFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent( tiff_dict, kCGImagePropertyTIFFImageDescription,
(const void **) & caption
);
info_item = [[NSString alloc] initWithString: (__bridge NSString *
_Nonnull)(caption)];
Could that explain the funny handling of umlauts I am seeing?
In particular, in the debugger, I can see that the type of file_basename is
actually an (NSPathStore2 *).
Could that be a problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.
