Unicode ä should be the same everywhere. Are you sure you aren’t doing something that is native encoding the text during the transfer from one deice to the other? At any point when you write/read the text to/from a file, socket or database you will need to encode/decode it. / should be the same everywhere regardless of encoding so that’s a little odd if you are having issues with that!
