Putting the Ü in Ümloud!

Ümloud IconA common question I get is how to make that letter u with the little dots above it, known as an umlaut. Here’s a handy guide for you all:

Windows: Alt-0220
Mac OS X: Option-u, then shift-u
iPhone: Shift for capital letters; Hold down the U key till a popup menu shows up for Ü.
HTML: Ü (case-sensitive)

That’s what you need to know to type in Ümloud!

You’ll notice that in some places we use a regular U: anything that’s a URL, for example, or the Twitter account @Umloud. While you can use umlauts in the location bar, the URLs will convert to Punycode, not to mention not everyone knows how to make a Ü.

Well, except you. Now you know how to Ü with the best of them!
