Strange... I don't know how your input file was coded, but if I set the codepage to 65001 and invoke isql with connection charset utf8, I get this when selecting from the table:

Reiábrett
Reißbrett
Reißbrett

And if I *type* accented characters or eszetts, they don't appear on the screen. Sometimes they backspace the prompt away though! (In isql as well as on the Windows command line.)

I'm using Win7 Pro 64 bits. And you?
