I believe in UTF8 it would be:

zone "dr\195\182pmor.no" { ... }; # dröpmor.no
zone "dr\195\184pmor.no" { ... }; # drøpmor.no

But note that you'll need to use "check-names ignore;" to get the zones to
load, because named doesn't recognize those octal encodings as letters, and
will block them as invalid hostnames for any A, AAAA or MX record.

(This assumes the .no zone allows those characters in delegations. I
would guess it does, but I don't actually know.)
