You're wrong:

Ä = 304 = 196 = C4 = U+00C4 =    C3 84 : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH  
DIAERESIS
Ë = 313 = 203 = CB = U+00CB =    C3 8B : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH  
DIAERESIS
Ï = 317 = 207 = CF = U+00CF =    C3 8F : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH  
DIAERESIS
Ö = 326 = 214 = D6 = U+00D6 =    C3 96 : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH  
DIAERESIS
Ü = 334 = 220 = DC = U+00DC =    C3 9C : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH  
DIAERESIS
ä = 344 = 228 = E4 = U+00E4 =    C3 A4 : LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH  
DIAERESIS
ë = 353 = 235 = EB = U+00EB =    C3 AB : LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH  
DIAERESIS
ï = 357 = 239 = EF = U+00EF =    C3 AF : LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH  
DIAERESIS
ö = 366 = 246 = F6 = U+00F6 =    C3 B6 : LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH  
DIAERESIS
ü = 374 = 252 = FC = U+00FC =    C3 BC : LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH  
DIAERESIS
ÿ = 377 = 255 = FF = U+00FF =    C3 BF : LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH  
DIAERESIS

(Although in German only ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, and Ü are accepted as umlauts.)
