Hi Krovit
I am the echo...
yes Steve's answer solves all the issue about localization of QB64pe both for IDE, both for the working of KEYWORDS like PRINT and INKEY$ or INPUT$/INPUT string/character.
As you surely have already experienced if you take input from keyboard or text file, the input task doesn't recognize your local character set... so try to play hangman using accented letters... it is an infinite game!
Making a preset of UNICODE by using MapUnicode keyword is the right solution...
but if you want only to write accented characters into IDE you can change character set used in it.

this one is good for italian language,
in fact you are able to write accented characters into IDE (hey Man, for E' you must use the ASCII tool to paste the character into IDE, cause it is not on the keyboard)as the following screenshot shows you are not able to use those characters into code if you don't change the character set in use by _Mapunicode.

I hope this echo gives you the right direction.
Because I am digging in my old notebooks I can post here some examples that come far from now...2016!
I'll do this later.
