Joachim,
Please I tagged tagged this bug as New, meaning it's accepted. Finding a way to
fix it may require extra analysis next a volunteer developer taking ownership
for it.

Here's a link to filename patterns for Dir VBA function, and the possible
wildcard characters:

However, I made extra short tests in order examine how VBA behaves in the case
of diacritics, such as accented characters. VBA seems to ignore them:

E or e are equivalent - while è é ë É Ë È are omitted
N or n are equivalent - while ñ Ñ are omitted

VBA behaviour predates western languages code pages and most certainly affects
solely the first 128 characters. Extra specifications may be of interest in the
case of non-latin character-based languages such as greek, arab, russian,
chinese and so on.
