How to display umlauts in chm Table of Contents?

I'm creating the german version of a chm help file. My problem is in Table of Contents umlauts are not displayed. I assume it is because of code page. The hhc file is ANSI. Converting it to Unicode doesn't help - it displays different, but still wrong, characters.

The file "Table of Contents.hhc" starts with

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft&reg; HTML Help Workshop 4.1">
<!-- Sitemap 1.0 -->
</HEAD><BODY>
<OBJECT type="text/site properties">
    <param name="ImageType" value="Folder">
</OBJECT>
<UL>
    <LI> <OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
        <param name="Name" value="ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ Uberblick">
        <param name="Local" value="overview.htm">
        <param name="URL" value="overview.htm">
        </OBJECT>
</UL>
</BODY></HTML>

Solution

Make sure the "Language" setting in the "Options" section of the project file supports the character you want. Since you are on a Russian system, the default is probably Russian. Change it to German, for instance. The engine rendering the chm is Unicode, only the compiler is ansi.
