I'm trying to display some German text using plot (J601).  The text has been
read in from a file using fread, decoded using ". , and stored in a table.

When I extract a word with an umlaut from the table (e.g., Aktualität),
assign it to W1, and plot it using

pd 'reset;text 0 _1x ',W1,';show'

the letter with an umlaut does not display correctly.

However, if I evaluate W1 in the jwd, like so:

    W1
Aktualität

and then edit and evaluate it like so

W2 =: Aktualität 

and then display W2 using

pd 'reset;text 0 _1x ',W2,';show'

W2 displays correctly.

Also

    $W1
10
    $W2
11

What is going on here?  How can I display the unicode characters using plot?

Thanks for any help.
