I have found a workaround, though not the reason. The version of my program with the corrupted Umlaute is from 2013. I have send my customer a test version of a newer version of my program from 2014 and voila, all Umlaute appear correct. This show to me that the issue is a Livecode issue in combination with Sierra. Since I don't have a history, which standalone I have build with which LC version (I should start with such a history now), I can't say which LC 6 version works with Sierra and which LC 6 version not. I think some nerds can find the LC version in the hex file of the stack, but I can't. Does anybody remembers if there was some change in handling code tables? Any other idea as giving the customer a free upgrade? Tiemo

I also tried the indirect enter with holding the "u" for 2 sec and then choosing the "ü" from the menu, but the letter also is corrupted, when displayed in the field. Very weird.

If it’s just one customer on one Mac, I would guess that maybe it’s a Font problem, can you check if they have the same font installed that your app uses, and if it is, maybe they need to check for font problems with the Font Book.app (should be in their Applications Folder).
