How can type �, �, � on the physical keyboard?

I have chosen Swedish as the external keyboard and the guide says: Alternate characters are available for I (�), O (�), P (�).
On my Bold 9900 it worked exatcly like that. I pressed Shift and an I to type an � directly using only yhe physical keyboard.
Does anyone know if it works? Or how can I type an � without using the touchscreen, only typing on the physical keyboard?

On my Passport you just press and hold the "A" and it would bring up the associated characters, etc.
