That is because you are using the wrong encoders.
| encoder string |
encoder := #macroman asZnCharacterEncoder.
string := 'äöü'.
(encoder decodeBytes: (encoder encodeString: string)) = string. " => true"
encoder encodeString: (Character value: 216) asString. " => #[175]"
We should probably replace the old ones with the newer ones in Pharo 6.
