No, it is not replaced. 0308 is combining diactrical mark for umlaut. 
Unfortunately, UNICODE allows for several different representations of 
the same character.

I believe this specific issue was already mentioned in the past w.r.t 
MacOS - it seems to prefer combining characters.

Try setting combiningchars - this could help.
