But you knew that the umlaut o was the proper spelling of schöne. You can go searching on internet and find various ways to copy/paste properly spelled German words.
The a, o, and u umlauts (ä, ö, und ü), are also available in Microsoft Word, if you have that. In that case look to the upper left and click on "insert," then look to the upper right where it says "Symbol," click that, then click the bottom where it says "more symbols." Now you can scroll through and find whatever you want. I have what I need from that copy/pasted to Notebook, which is then residing in the start-up menu.
The other thing to know is that the three umlaut letters can be spelled plain, but with an "e" following immediately for the same purpose and for the same good pronunciation. The ä or ae are pronounced as the English "e," as in "eh," and the eu or äu are pronounced as the English "oi"or "oy," hence the pronunciation of Freud. Goethe or Göthe would be pronounced alike, not that many English speakers know the pronunciation. Likewise Müller or Mueller.
Freud could be spelled "Fräud" and sound the same way, once understanding that the eu and äu are both sounded as the English 'oi' or 'boy.' Beolingus is a good site for simple translation, though remember to look up to the top left and refine search to EN>DE it that's what you want, DE>EN being the default.
