How to write the special characters?
Tips from the main forum features FAQ: How to type accents and other "weird" symbols.
Windows users - you can install a keyboard on your language bar. Instructions here.

A couple of discussion threads about our special characters:
Swedish: ä = ae ? ö = oe? Acceptable?
Icelandic: ö
Mutual intelligibility in Nordic languages?
Is there a common Scandinavian language?
Difficulty of learning, mutual intelligibility

I have recently discovered that holding down a vowel key on my mac computer/ i-pad brings up a selection of accents which various languages might use with that letter. For example, holding down the character "a" brings up a box with the following characters:
à á â ä æ ã å ā.
You simply click on the one you want. Hope this is useful.
Kind regards,
