I've checked and it seems to be an issue with the machine you are currently using. Maybe try working on a different computer to pinpont the issue? For specifically
-Setting my keyboard in German, all accented letters diplayed correctly on the input line
-The game engine parsed them correctly (provided that they are encoded without accents like we said)
-Whenever I pressed ß it got automatically replaced with SS, sidestepping the issue entirely (but you can set the game to recognize both as shown)
Hope this help, have fun

It is indeed an issue with the software I'm using, thank you for that hint.
I've just checked it, not with a different computer but with a different Internet browser. My default browser is LibreWolf, which is a Firefox derivate, but when I've just checked it on both Firefox and Brave, the input worked. I hadn't thought that that could even be a possibility because the inputs work on all other websites – so why wouldn't they work with a text adventure? (rhetorical question)
