Arduino board: Arduino Nano
Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): 1.8.10
Currently its not handy using special characters with the display print method.
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET); //Works fine: display.print("Hello World!"); //shows garbage display.print("Ä Ü Ö ä ü ö ß"); // Is possible with display.print("\224 \201 \204"); //Using octal ASCII //or display.print("\x94 \x81"); //Using hex ASCII //or display.write(0x94);
It would be very user friendly if umlauts in strings would be automatically converted by the library as it reads much better and is more easy to use.
Please see my extensive comment in #190 Adafruit_GFX (and by extension Adafruit_SSD1306) does bring characters with umlauts. The Issue is that you are using the wrong encoding.
