That's a TeX issue, not TeXWorks. You can use a different engine than <br>
pdftex (e.g. XeTeX), or if you're using LaTeX, use a package to support <br>
non-ascii characters. You can also use one of the old escapes for <br>
umlauts; it's been a while since I used those, but I think<br>

might be what you want.<br>
