Okay.. after some irritation i've discovered how to enter non-keyboard characters in Pidgin. Instead of the alt+___ that windows uses, it actually uses unicode (a cool thing), unfortunately, this means instead of the nice simple number things from before, i have to learn unicode :P (not a cool thing).

so now i have to hit:

ctrl+shift+u (but you can let go of the u) and it shows a little u with the underline like that.. then you enter the hex for the unicode value you want to display.

important ones to know!
-----------------------
ä - 00E4 (alt+0228)
å - 00E5 (alt+0229)
ö - 00F6 (alt+0246)
ü - 00FC (alt+0252)
ß - 00DF (alt+0223)
ṹ - 1E79

Too bad most of them don't display! http://www.unicodetables.com/
