I am trying to type some German characters in my putty session. I am able to type it on notepad or other editors.

asdƲas

But when I try to paste the above text on my Putty session, nothing happens (i.e. nothing gets echoed).

My Putty Configuration -> Window -> Translation -> Remote Character set has ISO-8859-1:1998 Latin-1, West Europe. I tried a few other character sets and I am not able to type Umlaut characters.

Is there some other setting to make sure that I can type Umlaut characters in a Putty session ?

You may be able to enter it if you know the ASCII value by holding down the Alt while entering the number from the numeric keypad; e.g. U-umlaut is Alt0220.

This works for some characters in CMD prompt, but may need the changes @heavyd references.
