Well, if I understand correctly, ä is represented by the OS as two
characters. First comes a, and then comes a special two-dot
character that combines with the preceding character to add the two
dots.
Emacs doesn't understand this kind of Unicode, I think.
It only understands the kind of Unicode where ä is represented by one
character.

Hm. You use X11? There is a package called unifont.

I never tried that.
I installed the unifont package and the GNU intlfonts package. And
that gave me lots of characters. (Both packages contain X11 fonts.
Are you using X11?) I installed the Debian packages.

Not sure whether X11 Emacs can use Aqua fonts.

I think terminal-coding-system isn't relevant in a window system.
