Accent letters worked in names for the beta, so I can only assume they will work post release as well. On retail, they always worked, but some private servers reject the characters, meaning you just have to try them on every server.
Another way to type these characters is to switch your keyboard's style to one that uses them. I switch mine between EN and DE. DE uses ü, ö, ä(umlauten), along with ß(eszett). You can do this under the control panel for keyboard in Windows. You can even save several styles and switch between them on the taskbar or with a hotkey as I do. When you switch to another style, the keyboard will have its layout edited, gaining accent letters for that language on regular keys.
