I see an "o" with tilde and umlaut; you don't see that?

I do have to say that something that's difficult to type is a legitimate reason to change its orthography, especially considering if the native speakers of said language have something resembling modern computers or the typewriter.

[Rounin Ryuuji]

It was also difficult to disambiguate from a double acute accent.

Ah. Indeed it is.

It was also difficult to disambiguate from a double acute accent.

I see how the tilde might be, but not how both together would.
