Problems with german characters in MonoTouch.Dialog

Has anyone a solution to the following problem: When I want to display a string in a StringElement that contains a german Umlaut like: ä,ü or ö or an ß it is shown as a white questionmark in a black-filled rectangle. Any suggestions how to solve this are highly appreciated!

Found a solution to this. However regarding it as a hack! If I pull my strings from the localizable.strings file in my project's de.lproj folder there is no problem with showing umlaut characters, so I am converting umlauts in strings contain one to ae or oe and then I am getting the correct character from the localizable.strings file via an extension method. As written above I am considering this solution as a hack and if there are better ones I would be very happy to learn about them...
