Not only that, but it makes the pronunciation difficult. Should this be pronounced like the English word "love", or interpreted more like a German word (which actually has this letter in the alphabet, and guess what, it isn't the same as o) and more like "loeve"? The umlaut isn't just a graphical stylisation, it's a real thing.

Yeah it's really irritating when American companies (or bands) put an Umlaut in their name but then just pronounce it like the regular letter.

English has it's own usage of the diaeresis, unrelated to the German umlaut.

It obviously should be pronounced like løve.

Not even unicode. It's 8bit/extended ascii and they don't actyally call it löve anywhere that matters. It's named LOVE and nothing else.

I'd much rather see projects named in leet or aLtCaPs, which are way cooler

You don't have to type the umlaut.

It's an entirely different letter.

Ö is not O, but Ö can be Ø
