I've just had a go with this too, and got exactly the same result
("Adlie") which would seem
to suggest that type has not been "Unicodized" yet.
I have found an effective workaround that goes like this:
(script of a button with the label "Adélie")
on mouseUp
put 1 into KK
repeat until KK > 6
put char KK of the label of me after fld "f1"
wait 30 ticks
add 1 to KK
end repeat
end mouseUp

Hi Martin
It appears to me that you have found a bug, probably something to do with the
switch to Unicode in the LC engine.
I ran a similar script in LC 8.1.4 rc1 - on a Mac, as it happens.
In my button the label is “Adélie”. The output resulting from the ‘type’
command is
Adlie
and the count of characters in the field is 5, not 6 as it should be.
If I capture the characters being ‘typed’ using ‘rawKeyDown’, I get
65
100
16777449
108
105
101
So the accented letter creates what appears to be a Unicode character, except
that I can’t find a Unicode character of that value after some rather limited
Googling. The other characters correspond to the relevant ASCII characters.
Can someone else confirm this, and it so, I’ll be happy to report it as a bug.

Hi
I’ve got a vocabulary trainer for French.
To make it easier for the students to produce letters with accents such as „é“
(ascii-code 142), „à“ and „ç“ I’ve a number of buttons the label of which is the
accented letter. As long as I use LC < 7.0 the script „type the label of me“ works
fine - producing the accented letter just at the position of the blinking cursor in
a textfield -, but doesn’t when I use LC >= 7. With normal letters such as „l“ or
„ C’ „ the script works fine using any LC version.
The script „put "C’ „ after text of field“ also works fine using any version,
but here the letter isn’t in every case in its right place.
Any ideas I should change so that I can make my standalones using LC 8.x.x.?
