I may be reading this wrong but when I hold down ctrl/alt and type a letter I get this...
As you can see it is exactly nothing, so can someone clue me in?
-
It doesn't work for me either.

I may have misremembered
Control+Shift+: (you have type the colon) then the letter. I have a Mac now so I can't test it so see what is wrong.

Try shift instead of alt

Nope.
Ctrl-Shift-Esc brings up the Task Manager in Windows, though.

Well shoot, I used to use keyboard shortcuts all the time. Sorry guys

On the laptop I hold down FN and ALT and type the numerical code for the symbol I want.
For example 0153 yields â„¢
On a desktop you hold down ALT and type the number on the numeric keypad.
-
My keyboard does not have an Fn key, you unfeeling clod.
The Alt key works. Good ol' ASCII tweaks.

Under Windows hold down ALT while typing the appropriate number code on your numeric keypad to create characters with umlaut accent marks.
For Windows, the number codes for the upper case letters are:
Ä 0196
Ë 0203
à 0207
Ö 0214
Ü 0220
Ÿ 0159
For Windows, the number codes for the lower case letters are:
ä 0228
ë 0235
ï 0239
ö 0246
ü 0252
ÿ 0255

I am going to have to look into this umlaut word. Very strong possibilities it meets all the parameters of a word deserving banning.
