   For some it is more natural to use the ^K (control-k) syntax:

   ^kaa = å       # Was ^ka@ in older vim, but aa is more natural.
   ^ko/ = ø
   ^kae = æ

      And if it's not Danish, but German:

   ^ka: = ä
   ^ko: = ö
   ^ku: = ü

   In vim, try:

   :h digraph
   :h digraphs

   and for a list of them:

   :digraphs

Viel Spaß!

Erik
