Use a German keyboard. If you are using an iPhone, just install it as a secondary keyboard.

I have a modern PC and the Alt + keypad trick works on mine. However, as I have a German keyboard, I don't need to do it that way; thus, I can type Mötley Crüe, without resorting to Alt + keypad. Actually, you can buy a decent German keyboard for about £10 at Amazon UK. The only problem (for me, anyway) was getting used to the 'QWERTZ' layout. On the plus side: it also has separate 'Umlaut key', therefore I can use it to type ë, ÿ and ï

The old Alt-number trick may or may not work on a modern PC - it doesn't on mine.

This should work on all PCs. All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map. I use it all the time to paste accented characters into text documents.

Alternatively - make a text file and paste "Mötley Crüe" into it. Then, you can always copy&paste from that without having to search for the name.

The comments about Australia are crazy. They absolutely were originally a Gun Nut nation and protested when their government wanted to take them away. However, they have not had a mass shooting since 1992 as a result and the Australians (even the ones who protested) will now tell you they feel much safer. In addition, not all guns were taken away; people still have hunting rifles and if a bad guy or boogie man broke into your house, you would still be able to do plenty of damage with a hunting rifle. My point - do we really need every American to have access to machine guns and sniper rifles? Can't we restrict specific gun access and only make hand guns and hunting rifles accessible? Just saying.

U have to have a German keyboard. Thats the only way. Sorry

Hold down the Alt key and type 148. When you release the Alt key, ö appears. For ü, hold down Alt and type 129.

look at the ascii table online.
