I have started to learn German as it has always been a goal of mine to learn the language. So I started to list some vocab in Excel to test myself.
I am using an English keyboard and the German language contains 4 special characters that do not appear on an English keyboard. You have the 3 umlaut accented characters ä, ö, ü and the ß (esszet).
There are two main ways to enter these letters into Word or Excel. One way is to insert the symbol, and the other is to use the number code associated with each character.

Insert the symbol

1. Click the Symbol button on the far right of the Insert tab.
2. Choose your font from the Font list if it is not already selected.
3. Scroll through the list until you see the Umlaut accented characters and the esszet (Latin small letter sharp S).

4. Select the character you need and click Insert and then Close.

Schwa is a quick, relaxed, neutral vowel pronunciation very close to a 'short u' /ʌ/.The purpose of schwa is to allow unstressed syllables to be said more quickly so the main beats of spoken words are easier to place on the stressed syllables.

Use the Number Codes

Using the number codes might turn out to be a little faster than inserting a symbol, especially if you are able to remember them.
When selecting the characters from the Symbol dialog box the number code is displayed at the bottom (see image above). I have provided a list below though for reference.
Ä – 0196
Ö – 0214
Ü – 0220
ä – 0228
ö – 0246
ü – 0252
ß – 0223
To type these special German characters you need to hold down Alt on Windows, or Opt on a Mac, and enter the number code using the numeric keyboard (do not use the numbers along the top of the keyboard, and don’t forget to turn the Num Lock key on).

Ə ə, also called schwa, is an additional letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the Azerbaijani, Gottscheerish, Karay·a and Adyghe languages, and Abenaki language of Quebec, and in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ dialect of Halkomelem. Both the majuscule and minuscule forms of this letter are based on the form of an upside down e, while the Pan-Nigerian alphabet pairs the same lowercase letter with Ǝ.

In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), minuscule ə is used to represent the mid central vowel or a schwa. A superscript minuscule ᵊ is used to modify the preceding consonant to have a mid central vowel release, though it is also commonly used to indicate possible syllabicity of the following sonorant, especially in transcriptions of English. The latter usage is non-standard.

In the Azerbaijani alphabet, Ə represents the near-open front unrounded vowel, /æ/. The letter was used in the 1992 Chechen Latin alphabet proposal where it represented the glottal stop, /ʔ/. It was also used in the Uniform Turkic Alphabet, for example in Janalif for the Tatar language in the 1920s–1930s. Also, in a romanization of Pashto, the letter Ə is used to represent [ə]. When some Roman orthographies in the Soviet Union were converted to use the Cyrillic script in the 1930s and 1940s, this letter has been adopted verbatim.

In the Karay·a alphabet, the letter represents /ə/.

In the Latin transliteration of Avestan, the corresponding long vowel is written as schwa-macron, Ə̄/ə̄.

An r-colored vowel can be represented using ɚ.

A schwa with a retroflex hook (ᶕ) is used in phonetic transcription.^[1]

Unicode encodings[edit]

Since the legacy fixed 8-bit ISO/IEC Turkish encoding does neither contain Ə nor ə, Ä ä has sometimes been used for the Azerbaijani language instead, as in the Tatar and Turkmen languages.

In Windows, the characters can be generated by holding the ⎇ Alt key and pressing the respective decimal Unicode number, which can be found in the table (e.g. 399, 601), on the number pad preceded by a leading 0. With a Linuxcompose key, the lowercase letter is by default generated by Compose+e+e.In OS X with the U.S. Extended keyboard, the letters Ə ə are made with ⌥ Option+⇧ Shift+: followed by ⇧ Shift+A or a respectively.
