It's after you learn two write that you realise o != ö and a != ä, but when writing you don't think those are that different

yeees let's not get into that å interloper in finnish alphabet, different question -- ok, yeah, so when you learn to write, surely they say "you write this like the a, but with dots on top"

mirrorbird: not as child, I though that ä is just a with dots and ö is o with dots. Then I went to wonder what on earth is å...

"have you tried turning it off and on--" BOOM#

does it FEEL this way? do you inherently, the way you learned to read, think a and ä are quite different letters, like b and d
mirrorbird(18:20:12)
it is always made clear (language textbooks, sorting algorithms) that äö are not just "ao with something on top", they are totally different letters.
