Please add letters

Please add the Scandinavian letters ä(æ),ö(ø),å(aa pronaunces o) for the indexers that do Scandinavian index, if they do not have those from before. I do not have ä or ö on my keyboard, but I use ¨and a or o. There are unnecessary mistakes and mixes made as these letters are missing. Like in Finland there is a county called Häme... not Hame which means a dress. Name Kähärä turns to Kahara, Östman to Ostman. We may know that but someone with Scandinavian roots may be puzzled. Also in many indexed things, you can see ä but have no possibility to do that. A is like for Adam and æ is like for the a in had. o is pronounced like in Ollie and ö is like a in a house.

The International Character tool in web-indexing has those characters. It is accessed by clicking on the second icon from the right on the horizontal tool-bar.

I hope people who index today learn how to use them :). Fantastic! Thank you!!! I would not like to index rusian or Kambodian records ... or Chinese... that is hard!
