Trying to use ALT+ Codes in Rise for the classic Umlaut letters but Rise uses other letters than specified e.g.  ALT+0228 should be ä but comes out as a P... 

Ä Uppercase Umlaut (AE) 0196
Ö Uppercase Umlaut (OE) 0214
Ü Uppercase Umlaut (UE) 0220

ß Eszett (ss) 0223

ä Lowercase Umlaut (ae) 0228
ö Lowercase Umlaut (oe) 0246
ü Lowercase Umlaut (ue) 0252

Any solution for this or idea what it could be related to? It works on other machines using Chrome (latest version)

Hi there, Michael. In Rise, ALT+ codes usually work best on a Windows keyboard with a number pad. I haves seen some inconsistency with how Rise renders those codes, however. When you don't get what you expect, I suggest copying and pasting the character in from another source.

In the meantime, I've got the ALT+ code behavior documented, and I'll post an update here if we make any changes.
