      How do i print these characters to LCD? I own the M5stack Grey.
      With other Arduino LCD's i did "\xEF" to print 'ö'. But with M5 LCD it did not work.
      Is there a document showing wich characters are supported in the LCD font?

          Hi,

          It's actually significantly simpler to type an e after the umlauted letters, and utilize a twofold s (ss) for ß. That is how Germans treat they need to.

            In the standard M5 font you can use this workaround.
            It is working in M5Tab5 as well

            ä char(132)
            ü char(129)
            ö char(148)

            Ä char(142)
            Ü char(154)
            Ö char(153)

            Example for German: Überschuss
            M5.Lcd.drawString(String(char(154)) + "berschuss" , 0, 0);
