Hello

when I type

sage: "ä"
'\xc3\xa4' #latin1
sage: u"ä"
u'\xe4' #utf-8

I was actually hoping to display the actual character ä. I'm aware of issues #13296 and patch 1176c4b I have sage 5.8 installed through ubuntu 12.04 repository Still though I can't seem to print a german umlaut 'ä' neither in a sage terminal nor in a notebook

Anyone has the same problem in sage 5.8?

This seems to work for me

ä
