Question

Does anyone know how to make umlauts or the essets in german?

Answer 1

on your Computer must be a 'character map' . there you can find all the characters you might need.  such as "©ä€‰®¿öü¾" and many more

Answer 2

I think ypu properly mean HOW to write them using Word etc in WINDOWS, right?

Press and HOLD the [ALT] key, use the Number pad to the left (it does not work using the numbers above) and type in the ACSII code assosiated with the Umlaut. Then let go of the [ALT] Key.

This DOES NOT WORK in NOTEPAD

Umlaut/ ACSSI

Ä 0196

Ö 0214

Ü 0220

ä 0228

ë 0235

ö 0246

ü 0252

Answer 3

In Windows, simply press the ALT-Button, and while keeping it pressed type one of the following codes on your Num-Pad (works only with Num-Pad, not with the numbers above qwerty....):

Ä = 0196

ä = 0228

Ö = 0214

ö = 0246

Ü = 0220

ü = 0252

ß = 0223

After typing one of the Codes, release ALT, and the letter will be written.

In Windows you also have the chance to activate the german keyboard-layout. Therefor go to:

- START

- Settings

- System"stuff"(what's it in english again?! ^^)

- (When XP, change to the classic view...)

- Region and Languagesettings

- Languages

- Details

There you can add the german keyboard-layout.

Switch to it! Now you can use öäüß with ; ' [ - (+caps for the capital-types...).

Answer 4

Copy and paste mine, plus I´ve added others from a German keyboard for your use:

äöü

€   µ  ÃƒÂ‚³  ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Ÿ

Answer 5

On a Mac keyboard:

option + "u" + vowel = ä ë ö ü

option + "s" = ß

Answer 6

ä=ALT 132

ë=ALT 137

ï=ALT 139

ü=ALT 129

ß=ALT 225

Answer 7

öäüß

Do you mean these?

Answer 8

Hi there, if u don't have german keyboard then i think you can inset umlaut & esszet from insert symbol. if u dont find in insert then u can write ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue & ß=ss. It is accepted nowadays.
