I've been enjoying using Frescobaldi for creating Lilypond scores, it
makes many things much easier.

I've been setting vocal pieces with German lyrics, and trying to use
Tools| Special Characters to find things like a and u with Umlauts,
and the double-s character that looks like a Beta.

I find it *extremely* difficult to find anything in those tables. I
finally found upper and lower case U with dieresis, which seems to be
the same as an Umlaut. But every time I need it, it takes me forever
to find it. I can find no trace of the double-s character. 

Any clues on how I can find what I'm looking for?

One more thing, if you want (and are on Windows), you could also just use the wicked handy cheat sheet numpad shortcuts :) That's an option as well. I have done that in the past.  Alt + 0203 = Ë, for example.

Maybe?
