Each character has a certain code shortcut. For an uppercase double-dotted "i", the code is "Alt + 0207", and "Alt + 0239" for a double-dotted lowercase "i".

Num Lock must be turned on for the code to be entered.
- Enter code shortcut
To enter the code shortcut, hold down the "Alt" key, type in the numerical code and then release the "Alt" key. The letter with an umlaut above it then appears.
