Strange behaviour of Unicode function.

[fahrradflucht]

I tried to implement a third layer which enables me to write German umlauts (äöü) and ß, while staying in US key layout. I didn't find another solution to this then mapping the keys in that layer to the corresponding unicode, but the behavior I got was very strange.

If I hit the key that I mapped to UC(0x00FC), which should be ü according to Wikipedia I get the following: ººƒç

What OS are you using? Different operating systems have different unicode input methods, and maybe the default of QMK (osx, I think?) is not suitable for you.

I use OSX 10.11.5.

What happens when you press left alt, then, while held, 00FC, and release alt too? Does that input the correct character, or does ti do the ººƒç too?

Are you using the Unicode Hex Input? Keyboard > Input Sources > Other (at the bottom) > Unicode Hex Input.

No I didn't. I was using US layout. Now I works just fine.

Thanks.
