Your problem isn't that the ou is not using English, rather it is using a non ASCII / ISO-8859-1 character set. You were already thinking in the correct direction of using encoding to handle these characters. Within the alfresco-global.properties file, you need to provide any special character as a unicode literal consisting of "\u" as a prefix and the hex value of the character. I.e. the German Umlaut "ä" would need to be provided as "\u00e4" inside the alfresco-global.properties file.
