Hmm. My US 2000U recognizes accents and umlauts, diphthongs, and even the
german
beta-like-s-letter-whose-name-I'm-not-going-to-embarass-myself-by-attempting
-to-spell. And the "a" with a little circle over it that they use in
Swedish (or the Angstrom symbol).
I use it in print mode, not cursive. Is this not the usual behavior?
