VCard import with umlauts are not working in Outlook with UTF-8 Encoding

I wrote a Plugin which generates a VCF-File in the Windows storage. If i save it in UTF-8, Windows People will be able to read correctly all Umlauts. If i import the vcf-file in Outlook every Ü is an ü.

If i save the VCF-File in ISO-8859-1 in Outlook, i can read the umlauts but then Windows People get the Black Questionmark for the umlauts.

How can i fix the encoding Problem? Is there a standard for all Platforms?

To put the Version to 2.1 and set the CHARSET to UTF-8 fixed the problem!

 vcard.AppendLine("VERSION:2.1");
 vcard.AppendFormat("N;CHARSET=utf-8:{0};{1};{2};{3}\r\n", 
 json.lastName,json.firstName, json.middleName,json.title);
