I have a few org files encoded in UTF-8. Everything works fine, also with German umlaute (ä, ö, ü, ß). These files I sync with Git between different PCs (mostly running Debian). When I synced one of the files with a windows machine it showed strange encodings in my Debian machine.

where \342 and all \XXX are counted as one character.
The characters which make problems are: Ä,ä,Ö,ö,Ü,ü,ß,„,“,/,–
