Refer to an ASCII table such as this one (http://www.asciitable.com/). You pick the three digit code and enter it by holding down the ALT modifier key and entering your three digit code.

I will point out to you however that people who name themselves in such a fashion are frowned upon and laughed at behind their backs. Unless they are demonstratably from a European country where common names require the use of those characters.

You run the risk of missing group invites, having people shun you and being associated with the Legolazzzz HuntarZ Corporation.

Also, if anyone reports your name, you will have to change it, since it is not part of the standard 101/102 button keyboard.

I'm swedish, some "strange" letters are part of my native language (å. ä. ö), and I believe that if you are from one of those countries you are allowed to use them in your name, not sure though.
