This is a result of the wrong encoding being used. Selection of a default
encoding was never implemented for ICQ and all contacts just randomly use
"Big5", the encoding with the smallest internal ID. That's why you get Chinese
characters.
To work around the problem, you need to manually select "ISO-8859-1 Western"
encoding for *each* and every contact using German umlauts.
When you open the encoding selection dialog for a contact, you will see that
"ISO-8859-1 Western" is already selected. Don't be fooled. No encoding is
selected and "ISO-8859-1 Western" is only shown because it happens to be first
in the list used in this dialog. You need to select any other encoding, close
the dialog, reopen it, select "ISO-8859-1 Western" and then, finally, the
selection will stick.
It's really a nuisance and probably rather easy to implement, but real life has
caught up with me way too much to be able to look into it myself.
