Freddy, 

As an English speaker and US resident, I use a keyboard with no accented
characters on it.  When I want to type the occasional Swedish word, I use
"dead keys" in X, beginning with ctrl-shift-T (in my setup) followed by a
two-character sequence that yields the letter I want.  To get 'å', I type
'^Ta*'.  

The programs I use with freetds, tsql and sqsh (and freebcp), aren't X
programs and don't let me use dead keys, so I don't have a good way to enter
"unusual" letters.  

Do you have any suggestion for me, apart from new hardware or remapping my
keyboard?  

(I think I'm only a little off topic?)
