Maybe using the option "--charset iso-8859-1" helps. This will force gpg 
too assume that you use latin1. Now try again to enter the ö as above 
(246 is the correct code for the ö in latin1).

Alternatively try the option "--charset utf-8" and enter Alt+0195 
Alt+0182 (this is the utf-8 code for ö).
