Add:
global_settings{char_set utf8}
Then, for most characters, you will need to use chr(Char_Number)
concat(Start_Of_String, chr(Char_Nubber), Rest_Of_String)

Correct.

Actually, that is not correct. One can either use an editor capable of
editing UTF-8 files (see
<http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/263/>) and things will "just
work", or use the backslask-u encoding, which for some reason ended up being
described in <http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/242/>, but
nonetheless is handled correctly for all strings.
For the umlaut-o the code would be "\u00F6". What needs to be remebered
though is that POV-Ray only supports the "Basic Multilingual Plane" of
Unicode (see details about Unicode i.e. at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Character_Set> or of course in the
Unicode standard). This limitation is mainly due to the TrueType font
handling code not being able to handle more than UCS-2 correctly.

Sorry for the incovinience. So, can I do that in the built-in editor of the
POV-Ray? And, if yes, how. I added the neccessary statement to the
global_settings, but it didn't help.

The builtin editor presently don't handle extended ASCII nor unicode
properly.
You need to use string functions, starting with concat(...) and
str(Char_code)

The POV-Ray for Windows editor does handle extended ASCII just fine, it is
just that POV-Ray will ignore them.

Hmm, did you actually *read* my post? - He can use the backslash-u construct
to encode Unicode characters with any editor, including the internal editor.

The internal POV-Ray for Windows editor (currently) does not support UTF-8
encoding as far as I know. You can use the backslash-u encoding with it
though. It requires looking up the correct encoding in one of the many
Unicode tables you can find with Google.
If you want full Unicode support naively, I think newer versions of WordPad
or even Notepad as standard Windows editors support optional UTF-8 output.
Still, remember that we do not support surrogates (supplementary characters)
for the POV-Ray "text" object.
