I interprete that you want to do a replacement on an old machine where the
used tool does not support non-ASCII characters?

One general question is; what character encoding (what locale) do you use
on your old machine (ASCII, Latin-1, UTF-8)? And which character encoding
is used in the data file?

Have you other tools available that support extended characters sets?

Can you convert the data (using iconv) to match a format supported by the
available tools?

The file is UTF-8. The Germany,ß case gawk exist when printing.

You did not answer the question which locale you use. This is important
for gawk. Gawk sure will not exit on ß when you have "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8"
;) (and all the LC_* variables with the same value).
