I missed the original question, so I hope this is on point . . .

You can generate non-English characters, such as umlauted letters, by using
the extended ASCII character set. You can access the characters in Windows
or DOS by holding down the "Alt" key while typing a three number combination
on the numeric keypad. Characters for most (if not all) European languages
are available. The combinations for German characters are:

=E4 <alt-132>
=C4 <alt-142>
=F6 <alt-148>
=D6 <alt-153>
=FC <alt-129>
=DC <alt-154>
=DF <alt-225>

Another way to access extended characters in Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 is to
use the Character Map utility in the Accessories Group/Folder. After
selecting and copying the character to the clipboard, you can paste it into
most applications.
