Answer 1

Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Language > Details > Add > Input Language select the language.

On your Task Bar you will find an option to select the language you want. The open bracket will print ü.

BTW, this will work for ANY Windows application.

You're welcome.

Answer 2

This is a short list of characters enterable in just about any Windows word processor, text editor, browser or email client.  To get these characters,

1. Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.

2. Hold down the ALT key and enter the number on the numeric keypad.  (Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys, also with blue numbers on them, into a numeric keypad.)
