I just found out that I get the ü correctly displayed when
invoking Aquamacs like this: emacs -nw -Q
So obviously your or the system's init file sets something
incompatible, something pre-Iraq wars ... maybe a "language-
environment?"
Is Aquamacs Emacs set into UTF-8 "mood?"
Mode-line! It should start in the left corner with -u:. You press
with the mouse cursor on the symbol between - and : ...
So, can't the autocomplete within Emacs work because it doesn't
work under Terminal?
This is not really likely. The Emacsen do not use a shell based
mechanism to expand a file name.
Then why does the Emacs file prompt feature the same bug as
Terminal (this happens both with Aquamacs 1.3 and the Emacs
bundled with Mac OS X 10.5):
1. C-x C-f rü<tab> (nothing happens)
2. Backspace (to delete the ü), u<tab> (autocompletes)
3. Delete backwards until you only have the r
4. Hit tab ... and you'll end up with rckerstattung.txt
Try the same in Terminal with "ls rü<tab>" ...
My test file, since Jaguar (?), is called äöü... No file name
completion starts for me.
The shell in Terminal uses a different mechanism for file name
completion than GNU Emacs. Is this the answer you wanted to read?
Both mechanisms choose from the same pool of HFS+ decomposed and
deranged character strings.
Is bash still 2.05 from the 90ies?
Have you tried, just for fun or proof of apple's mis-concept,
to attach your file to an eMail and typed ``r ü´´ in the form
to find your file at once?
Err, Mac OS file open dialogs do not feature a prompt to type the
file name ... only mouse clicks!
That's true! And you never tried in Finder, best when you have at
least one file starting with a or A and at least another one starting
with ä or Ä, just to type - not in the search hole! a or ä? Maybe
followed by one or more TABs? (Try both! Does a find the ä file? Does
ä find the a and the ä file?)
The same way you can fast select a file from select menu to choose from.

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists
solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
