    Do as most non-DACH countries do: Just use the regular letter instead of the Umlaut.

    Example:
    Über-Mensch -> Uber-Mensch

      If you replace the ü in “Das Wetter ist schwül” (“the weather is humid”) with a u though, you get “the weather is gay”.

      But that’s just wrong. ü has a different meaning and pronunciation than u.

      If umlauts aren’t available, the correct way to write umlauts is with an additional e: zurueck.

      Über-Mensch -> Uber-Mensch

      Please be aware that this term can be problematic, since it can be seen as a foundation for fascist ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Übermensch#Use_by_the_Nazis
