How to get handwriting recognition to recognise diacritical marks?

Thanks for the reply.

I did in the end get it to start recognising ü without installing German handwriting recognition, but then I tried é and I just couldn't get that working at all, even though I tried it in common French words and I already have French handwriting recognition installed. And now, coming to think of it ü also turn up in a few French words (such as aigüe​).

I've read elsewhere that Windows handwriting recognition just sucks, and that handwriting recognition in Windows 10 sucks more than handwriting recognition in Windows 8.1, which sucked more than handwriting recognition in Windows 7. Could this be the problem?
