*Thanks so much Maggie.*

I know how to both type it and use it!
(cause I just learned about a year ago)
Umlaut alert:
The ö in my last name is pronounced like the vowel in "burn". If you can't

umlaut on their keyboard, they replace ö by oe!
I found the above-mentioned lesson from a relative of mine.
