As per @NickD's comment, here is the help information for the o character in the file name:

And here is the ö character inside a file:

I am having trouble with nordic characters (å, ä and ö) not rendering correctly in Emacs. In text files, they render correctly, but in dired and other non-file buffers (like counsel-find-file) they instead render as o¨ instead of ö, etc. See the picture below.

I have the following settings related to character encoding in my init.el file:

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) 

My LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8 and LC_ALL is en_IE.UTF-8 in my .zshrc.

System information

• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.2
• Emacs version: 29.1 (railwaycat's Emacs Mac Port)

What I've tried

• Changing LC_ALL to sv_SE.UTF-8
• The official GNU Emacs for macOS & d12frosted's Emacs Plus

As per @NickD's comment, here is the character description:
