The plague of emoji insertion in French docs

Personally, I don't. I live in Muenchen, not München. When strictly needed, CTRL+C/CTRL+V from a Google search makes the trick.

When writing email/docs, autocorrector for the win.

Same thing in Italian: `e instead of è. Although, the German replacement is cleaner, I'd say.

As someone from Espanya, I welcome you to the club.

Interestingly that's the Catalan spelling.

Not that you guys have it any better (with the ç and two, rather than one, sets of accent marks)

Oh we have more than two sets of accents, we have acute, grave, circumflex and dieresis. Spanish also has ¨ I think, like in güero or piragüismo.

We don't use the accents in the same way as Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Italian, it doesn't mark stress.

That's… quite certainly not an opinion shared with all of your fellow inhabitants.

You are right, but this is the internet, and the official website for the city is https://www.muenchen.de/, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You might want to consider using a keyboard layout that supports diacritics. I use UK Extended Winkeys for example, where I can do AltGr+[ followed by a letter to get it with a diaeresis, allowing me to type äöü. It supports almost every European language character.

I like that. Makes me wish I could just input all my text in Emacs which would make mapping such things to the “proper” sequence of strings very simple.
