How can I safely escape special characters such as German Umlauts?

[Henning]

I want to safely encode my texts including special characters (such as Ä, Ü, Ö). I tried Jinja filters but did not get my desired results:

If I use safe filter all "<",">" etc. get perfectly escaped, but not my special chars. Another option I tried was using forceescape, however, this resulted in completely escaped HTML but the german Umlauts where still there.

Is there some configuration in Jinija I need to set?

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!

Please don’t. It’s 2013, and you should use Unicode (UTF-8 to be
exact), not some ancient encodes.

Ok, I guess my question should be the other way round: Am i fine with delivering my HTML pages UTF-8 encoded? I was worried that there might be some browsers around, which can't handle UTF-8...

YES, YOU ARE! I told you: this is 2013. Everyone and their cat
accepts UTF-8 characters and nobody really uses any other encoding
today.
