I'm trying to use what the virtual keyboard calls "Accents a-m". They're (at least in a Windows context) Unicode C0 and up or something (somewhere in the range 80-FF).
But when I type them (say in Notes) and view the subsequent file in hex format (say in Midnight Commander), I see that each one character is actually two characters. It looks like a control character, either C3 or C4, followed by another character.

Notes isn't really the issue per se. I'm working in an environment with many WLANs, and the administrators have used some 0x80 to 0xFF characters within the key. I've spoken to them about the problem but they'd prefer not changing the key for various reasons if a solution on my end is feasible. Probably foremost they just don't want to notify all the other users if they were to change it, LOL.
Next I repeated the set up but used a 0 in the key where it needed an accented character, and then used a hex editor to change the 0 (0x30) to Ä (0xC4). That didn't work -- the connection no longer even appeared in the Connections list. I think whatever is used to parse the XML of the gconf, kind of crashed when it came to a character it didn't know what to do with or something.
The relevent XML looked like...
<stringvalue>12305</stringvalue>
...and I wanted...
<stringvalue>123Ä5</stringvalue>

How do I fix this or override it? I see in Control Panel's "Language & region" settings that I can choose English (USA) as my Device language but how do I find info on Unicode or an extended character set or anything like that? Thanks.
