[texworks] german umlaut in TeXWorks

[J. R. Setti]

I think that LaTeX supports UTF-8 since a few years ago.
Perhaps the issue could be solved with these magic LaTeX command at the
beginning of the file:

% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
% !TeX TS-program = pdflatex

and the package

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

This is what I do when I need to use accents in Portuguese.
