PolyTypeType it on our keyboard
Open the field already filled with ü — type or click more, then copy. No install, works offline:
Codes
| Reference | ü | Ü |
|---|---|---|
| Unicode | U+00FC | U+00DC |
| HTML entity | ü | Ü |
| CSS escape | \00FC | \00DC |
| macOS — Unicode Hex Input | ⌥ 00FC | ⌥ 00DC |
| Windows — Word | 00FC Alt + X | 00DC Alt + X |
macOS hex input needs the “Unicode Hex Input” source enabled (System Settings → Keyboard). The Windows Alt + X trick works in Word and Outlook; elsewhere use the panel below.
On a Mac
- Quick combo: press ⌥U then U.
- Press and hold the u key — an accent menu pops up; pick ü.
- Character Viewer: ⌃⌘Space, search “u with umlaut / diaeresis”, double-click it.
On Windows
- Emoji & symbols: Win + ., switch to symbols, find ü.
- Character Map (search it in the Start menu) → find ü → Copy.
With PolyType installed
If you run the PolyType app or browser extension, type the base letter then the diacritic — no layout switch (the directive accents the letter immediately before it):
The instant cycle ;;u also works (repeat to cycle variants).
This inline syntax needs PolyType running; without it, use a method above.
