2002-03-21 I am aware of it, but I have never seen it in German texts. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I just have not seen it. And since I have no problem using the umlauted characters, I see no reason to use substitutes.
Just like I see no need to substitute m� and with m2. If I absolutely can't use m�, I will use m^2, but never m2. It just doesn't look right. That's all.
