Following sentence contains all accented characters (chars with diacritic) that are used in Czech language.

příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy

Now I convert this line to uppercase using gUU and I get:

PříLIš žLUťOUčKý Kůň úPěL ďáBELSKé óDY

instead of:

PŘÍLIŠ ŽLUŤOUČKÝ KŮŇ ÚPĚL ĎÁBELSKÉ ÓDY

As you can see the characters with accents don't get converted. What do I have to set in my .vimrc to get it working right?

Works without modifications on my system. Are you running in a UTF-8 locale. – Joni Dec 04 '13 at 13:04
Works on GVIM 7.3.823 on Windows. What's your Vim version and platform? Also, `:set encoding?` – Ingo Karkat Dec 04 '13 at 15:53
I have GVIM 7.4 on Win XP 32bit. `:set encoding` returns: encoding=cp1250 – Pontiac_CZ Jan 28 '14 at 13:06

There was [a bug](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_dev/y2IwXq0cVDs) in 7.3, fixed now. – pevik Jun 03 '15 at 21:37
