debasisdas answer is correct.

Because all characters have ASCII

I went looking to see if anything could be found on Character Map, in Windows... could not find anything.

I was thinking perhaps if we could tell VB to search Character Map and compare ALL characters against certain fields in our application, VB would try to find a match, say ö in this case in Text1.Text textbox, search would be valid since ö is likely to be found in the Character Map in Windows. Someone has probably already tried this, sounds doable!

Other than that I got nothing, but good luck with the project; do let us know how you made out, sounds fetching... might be helpful to others passing through;-)
