This will not be fixed in the upcoming 0.99-18 release.  I am afraid
that fixing it will require too many changes.  It will have to wait
until the 0.99-19 development versions.

The problem is that 'ö' is not a word character as far as the C mode
syntax table goes.  If you add it to the approriate `define_syntax`
statement, then it will be highlighted, i.e.,

   define_syntax ("0-9a-zA-Z_ö", 'w', "C");

However, it is probably better to use

   define_syntax ("0-9a-zA-Z_" + char(0xF6), 'w', "C");

since what the `char` intrinsic produces depends upon the UTF-8 mode.

Ultimately, `define_syntax` should support slang-2 character classes,
e.g., "\\w" instead of "0-9a-zA-Z".
