It is not about problem, it is about how they are suppose to be written
natively. That's why everyone has their own layout.
German Umlauts are fairly easy, with adding the e. But what about the
Scandinavians with their circles over the a and stuff... In the old days
we hat ASCII 7-bit, the Europeans wanted ASCII 8-bit to get their
characters in there as well. Now we are at UTF-32 iirc to fulfill
worldwide needs.
