charset confusion with speakup

I have, for some time, been confused about what charset speakup uses as
compared with iso-8859-1, utf8, and others. For example the following
"?" my editor vim (version 6.2) believes is a o oomlout, but speakup
says it is a devided by sign and the same value showed in that other
os's character map shows up as o oomlout with devided by one to its
right.

For all this I am using debian unstable with the cvs version of speakup
and I have LANG set to "en_US" although "en_US.utf8" gives the same
results. For me this isn't a particularly major problem, but I would
rather not misspell my associates from over seas names unnecessarily.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the problem could be and what will if not fix it at least give me a reliable way to know that a double up double t (just an example) is really an a e dipthong or some such. Thanks for listening to my rambling.
