Hi Philippe,
it looks like a matter of the default file encoding. I guess that Java takes that value from the operating system unless it is explicitly set via an option when staring the JVM. Probably it is set somewhere in the ImageJ launcher.
Use Plugins>Utilities>ImageJ Properties. This will tell you what you have (roughly 15 lines from top).
If you want to write macros not only for your personal use, I would strongly propose to write non-ascii characters in a way that is independent of file encoding.
Unfortunately, it seems that the ImageJ macro language currently does not support the java notation \u00e9, so currently you have to write, e.g.
print("arriv"+fromCharCode(0x00e9));
Of course, you could write a short list defining the characters, e.g.
eGrave=fromCharCode(0x00e8);
eAcute=fromCharCode(0x00e9);
print("arriv"+eAcute);
