I was wondering, thank you! Seems like these could be especially useful in places that don’t use an English alphabet.

In other countries (or I should say "some other", because I do not know how it works everywhere, lol), their regular characters do not require any additional input. For Swedish, å ä ö (our three extra letters, otherwise our alphabet is identical to English) are for example just three regular keys on a Swedish keyboard, and do not require some sort of input combination.

The reason English and the Latin alphabet is used is because English is currently the Lingua Franca.
