zeogold: On Steam, for example, there's no umlaut to be seen on the title, yet it's included in the game description.

Leroux: Just a thought, but on Steam the reason for that might be that it's easier to find the title if you don't have to type in "ü" which most users probably won't even find on their keyboard? https://store.steampowered.com/app/225260/Brutal_Legend/
Apart from that, your theory sounds reasonable though.
While this is true, there are other games with weird symbols in the titles on Steam. Although this is a really bizarre example, see Ohr:

Or NPPD Rush:

Not to mention that the search algorithm is usually smart enough to bring you the right game regardless of the special symbols.
