Question bout "Umlaut" and "special characters" (e.g. french) in LUA

Hey there,

I wonder if ESO LUA will work correctly with the umlauts and e.g. french characters like è, é and ê?
Most of the time the addons seem to work well, but some users use special characters for the translations (escape charaters, looks like UTF-8 characters or something like that).

Here is an example list:
Lua Code:
  1. --[[ Umlauts & special characters list
  2.    à : \195\160    è : \195\168    ì : \195\172    ò : \195\178    ù : \195\185
  3.    á : \195\161    é : \195\169    í : \195\173    ó : \195\179    ú : \195\186
  4.    â : \195\162    ê : \195\170    î : \195\174    ô : \195\180    û : \195\187
  5.    ã : \195\163    ë : \195\171    ï : \195\175    õ : \195\181    ñ : \195\177
  6.    æ : \195\166    ø : \195\184
  7.    ç : \195\167    œ : \197\147
  8.    Ä : \195\132    Ö : \195\150    Ü : \195\156    ß : \195\159
  9.    ä : \195\164    ö : \195\182    ü : \195\188
  10. ]]

Do we need to use these escape characters for our translations or can we just use the normal characters like ä Ä ö Ö ü Ü é è ê in the localization lua files? Or doesn#t it make any difference?

Tahnks.
