On MacOS, you can access all those special characters from the Keyboard menu. One of the tabs in the Keyboard System Preference has an option to 'Show Input menu in the menu bar'. Then from any app you can open up an 'Emoji and Symbol Viewer' that will allow you to insert any symbol or character anywhere.

If in MacOS GC 4.4, I type OPTION-"u", "u" into the little text entry popup that appears after I first enter OPTION-"u", "u", that does enter ü (u-umlaut) into the popup text box. However, there's something that causes the popup text box to time out, and there's no way I could find to get the text out of the popup text box and into the AccountName box, not even using copy-paste before the timeout.
