Textfields to support German characters

I am developing an online feedback form for a german site.
I would like to know if there is any specific coding I must follow to enable the visitor enter the german characters in the text fields?
Or is it simply the operating system and the default language of his PC which will enter these characters in any textfields in the internet forms?

I am an asian and have no idea about how european languages are handled in the html.

Hope to hear a solutions soon.

The input will be in the users (clients) default language settings, you will need to be able to accept these characters on your server.
If you are storing this data in a database, then use the nvarchar, ntext, etc...data types.

I've found that declaring your content type as UTF-8 helps with "non-standard" characters.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
