At the time of this post, that is the intended function. Unfortunately, it is not possible to display non romanized letters within computercraft. This is a limitation of Minecraft, and not Computercraft, but it has been expressed that the support of those letters is planned, as soon as it's possible.

It works for me sometimes. Or it works if you are putting it up un a Monitor, then it shows corectly.

Minecraft 1.6.4 i use at least can display scandinavic characters in chat. TurtleOS can also show those characters, but it gets a little bit in trouble with them, because it might be treated as UTF internally. This makes each special character cover 2 characters in a string. When you backspace half of the character off, it becomes messy.

Its the way characters are counted, they're counted by bytes, "special characters" as you put them, use more than one byte to be able to represent them — they use 2 bytes — this is why they're counted as 2 characters.
