Adding domains with an "ö" is not supported?

I use this https://www.punycoder.com/
Somehow you bought an IDN but never noticed that it is listed sa donnerdöner.de? You should read up more on IDN @jayonrails, it's quite interesting. Even using the punycode version there are sometimes limitations, depending on the software. But it's pretty cool, isn't it! -

Tricky domain. I wouldn't even know how to type that letter with english keyboard.
Special characters are entered with ALT codes, such as Alt-3333 for

I would only register a domain with an Umlaut if I had also registered the same domain without (as in this case Döner and Doener). Besides the keyboard issue, a lot of people don't realise that these are two different domains (because oe is just an alternative form of ö) or don't even know that ä, ö, ü can now be used in URLs.

@robi I think that's a Windows thing maybe? Maybe Mac too.. Atleast on linux, it doesn't work.
Right, each OS is a bit different, even among window managers. Option key for Macs and Linux has a few options:
Linux - Unicode: one of three methods should work:- Hold Ctrl+⇧ Shift and type U followed by up to eight hex digits (on main keyboard or numpad). Then release Ctrl+⇧ Shift.
- Hold Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U and type up to eight hex digits, then release Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U.
- Type Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U, then type up to eight hex digits, then type ↵ Enter.

The thing with the "Döner" was just a joke and an example for a domain name with the Umlaut "ö" in it. I thought it would be more understandable than lame duck examples.
