Hope this is helpful.

There have been comments on how hard it is to include such things as
ß German double s)

ä

ö

ü

•

in posts. If it is of use to anybody, I can look out others for French and scandinavian languages and add them for others to cut and paste.

How are these?

À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß

à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ø ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ

ETA: Put spaces between the letters, and made the font bigger so they are easier to isolate and copy.

Is to do it in a word processor, like Microsoft word, first (use symbol insert for the characters if you don't know the ascii code).

Then I just save as text (so that the ascii codes are simple ones) and copy in.

I don't do German, but I do, on occaision, do Norweigian, Hungarian, or French. For those, It worked fine.

For those who need Norweigian, I just put these characters in first so I can copy and paste (Ctrl c, Ctrl v): Æ æ Ø ø Å å

I also find this helpful, I just cut and paste.
This is the roman/latin expanded alphabet
This version won't change your sizes or anything like that, they just paste in.j
also notice, degree symbol, cents, yen, british lbs, etc.

If you use Windows you already have a wonderful tool for this:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

I have created a short cut to Character Map on my desktop and use it all the time.

If you have a British keyboard, you can go to Control Panel --> Regional and Language Options

Go to the Keyboards and Language Options tab and click Change Keyboards --> Add

Find English (United Kingdom) - United Kingdom (International) and add it.

With this keyboard you can get acute, grave and circumflex accents (I think those are the names in English; I learnt them all in French), as well as the c&#233;dille (&#231;) and umlaut (I don't know the English name for that), ina addition to &#230;, œ, &#240;, &#254;, &#223;, &#248;, and possibly more I haven't worked out yet.

You can get an American International keyboard layout for American keyboards, but I never liked that because to get an acute accent you press ' followed by the letter, so to get an apostrophe you have to press ' followed by the space bar. You can set that up in the same way as the UK International if you want, though.

If you're using mac os x just click the little flag (which shows your language of the keyboard) and choose 'insert charakter palet'. There's everything in :)

Which reminds me: Başak posted a comment on flexi8.com, labeled "Baþak". ş in the Turkish code page has the same code as þ in the Icelandic code page.
