Thank you.

That usually works in LaTeX mode. So to render "Gr\"obner" with the
Umlaut, you do

`Gr\"obner`

Notice the delimiting back ticks.

Specify the character encoding at the top of the corresponding ReST
file. For example, in the ReST file for the German translation of the
document "A Tour of Sage", I put the following as the very first line:

.. -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

as is without using any special escape sequence. To see what I mean,
use a UTF-8 capable text editor to view the patch at ticket #8698.
