How to type German Umlauts and other special characters?

I'm working for a US ccompany, so I often don't have a German keyboard
available. How can I still type German Umlauts (ÄäÖöÜüß) and other
special characters (like accented characters for French names etc.)? In
Windows it's easy, I just need to know the character code from the
codepage, hold the [Alt] key and type that number on the numeric keypad.
Or I can use a small program called charmap.exe which shows all
available characters for a font. Is there anything similar to both
approaches (I need it on the console as well)?

Best regards,
