Read the full guide
Umlaut or diaeresis
German sorts its umlaut ü with u and spells it ue where the letter cannot be typed. The diaeresis of Spanish and Catalan looks the same, and Unicode gives the two one character: a u with dots above it, copied here, serves for either.
A capital U with an accent
Of the capitals only Ü has a short Alt code, 154. The others take four digits: Ú is Alt+0218, Ù is Alt+0217 and Û is Alt+0219. Ú is also the one letter here that the U.S. Option layer types in a single press, Option+Shift+;.
A u with a tilde is ũ and a u with a circumflex is û. Only û has Alt codes: 150 and 0251.
In pinyin ü is written only after l and n. After j, q, x and y the same sound is spelled with a plain u.
Where ü is missing from the keyboard, most pinyin input methods take the letter v for it.
