i'm not sure but ther should be an option some where on your computer that let's you substitute letters on your keyboard with letters from a different language, its either that or its because asriel's from norway, and they proboly hav a different keyboard than us

Exactly.
In Norway (and Danmark) we have 3 extra letters in the alphabet:
Æ: pronounced AE
Ø: pronounced OE
Å

for those of you who speak french, the "ø" sound is pronounced like the vocal in "le" e.g: le pere (the father)

And yes, we do have a different keyboard than other countries, where you guys have the ][ signs and so on, we have æ ø and å

Sorry I didn't explain that in my original post

I think that's how you say it in Pakistan... but that's also how to say it in Bangladesh (our languages are somewhat related)

P.S. isn't the accent mark supposed to strecth a letter? in my language, its supposed to be a short "a", thus the "a" in cha is pernounced like the "o" in the word crops

Å: AA

So people with the name Ås= Aas

Yes that's true. But it doesn't tell how you PRONOUNCE the letter Å.
Å is pronounced something like "Oooh"
