Well, of course a script can inspect text and replace a 'u' with a 'ü'.
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"u"}
set t to every text item of t
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"ü"}
set t to t as text
Maybe you need to explain the circumstances where you need to script this
instead of just typing them accented chars.
