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)?
