[Tex/LaTex] German character not rendered to pdf

charactersgermaninput-encodings

I just started using LaTeX, and need to use the character "ü". I already have this in main file :

%%% Sprach- und zeichensatzspezifische Pakete
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\usepackage{array}

where I believe the latin9 inputenc will allow me to show ü in the PDF file. However, when I type pdflatex main, I get the PDF file, where the word für is rendered as fÃŒr

There is no error, and the package is already there (if not, for sure it will prompt me for error message). How to render this "ü" in PDF? Would appreciate any answer.

I don't know how to get the character to work, but you can just use \"u to get a "ü" in the pdf.
