<p>You type "lv4se4" into a HanYu Pinyin IME to generate the ideographs for "lǜsè". If you type both syllables together, the relevant characters should be automatically selected by your IME.</p>

<p>So, in case you haven't noticed, not many ASCII keyboards have the German umlaut as a key. This doesn't tend to be too much of a problem, but whenever typing something like 绿色,  I can never seem to find the character for 绿.  Any tips?</p>
