I use same config on Linux and OpenBSD. OpenBSD doesn't use locales so I
specify the options in the config file.

Pressing the C-q ä in *scratch* printed ä on buffer immidiately after
pressing the ä so it seems to work correctly.

xev gives following output:
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x125, subw 0xe00002, time 4227595, (61,56), root:(62,57),
    state 0x10, keycode 94 (keysym 0xe4, adiaeresis), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a4) "ä"
    XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c3 a4) "ä"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
