If you want äöüÄÖÜß, anybody else will want their local characters, too, and nothing below full Unicode will work. Just for laughs, here's a list of non-ASCII Latin-based letters in Unicode (not verified for completeness): ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆàáâãäåæĀāĂ㥹ǺǻǼǽ ÇçĆćĈĉĊċČč ĎďĐđ ÈÉÊËèéêëĒēĔĕĖėĘęĚě ĜĝĞğĠġĢģ ĤĥĦħ ÌÍÎÏìíîïĨĩĪīĬĭĮįİıIJij Ĵĵ Ķķĸ ĹĺĻļĽĿŀŁł Ðð ÑñŃńŅņŇňʼnŊŋ ÒÓÔÕØòóôöõŌōŎŏÖŐőŒœǾǿ ŔŕŖŗŘř ŚśŜŝŞşŠšß ŢţŤťŦŧ ÜÙÚÛüùúûŨũŪūŭŮůŰűŲų Ŵŵ ÝýÿŶŷŸ Þþ ŹźŻżŽž ƒſ ISO 8859-1 covers just a fraction of these, so Unicode would indeed be necessary to allow a program written in one country to compile in another one.
