Default Self-launch v Sustainer

I see the clever keyboarders are finding codes for umlauting
German vowels, but on a Chrome browser set to English, they
come out as gibberish = C3 = B6 [spaces inserted]

Unterwoessen and Nuernberg are perfectly acceptable.

When my great grandfolks left Bavaria to become Pennsylvania
Dutch, Deutsch posing an orthographic challenge to the locals,
the e got inserted because the Ellis Island typewriters couldn't do
accents.

Later on my grandfather changed the o to a when folks kept
driving by the sign.
