As an interesting aside, German alphabetizes words as if the umlauts were transcribed (so Köln would come before Kohl, for instance), but the Scandinavian languages treat their umlauts as trans-z characters (so in Swedish phone books, Ödlund would come after Zetterström).
The Scandinavian languages also have characters similar to the German umlauts: besides the ä and ö (Swedish), Norwegian and Danish have œ (a + e as in English), Norwegian and Danish also have θ (o + e) and all three use a (a + a).
In Uighur, it’s spelled with umlauts: Ürümqi.
Diacritical marks can be broken down into two types: accents, which affect, roughly speaking, pronunciation only; and umlauts, which affect spelling as well as pronunciation.
Umlauts are not simply accents, however: they are fundamental to the spelling of a word and should always be transcribed as ae/oe/ue (or aa in the case of the Scandinavian a) in character sets that do not provide umlauts.
