Shouldn't there be a diresis mark along side the accents and front question and exclamation marks?

A dieresis is placed over the u when it pronounced after a g in the combinations güe and güi. I have occasionally seen this needed in the "recall" section of flashcards, including some of the sets used in the "Learn Spanish" modules. For example, in "Birds / Las Aves" flashcards, el pingüino needs to be typed in. It can't be done without preparing the answer elsewhere and doing a copy/paste when needed.It would be nice to see that character available in flashcards and in the "Answer this Question" part of the site.

I answered a question yesterday. The word was güero/a, and I noted this character wasn't available. - Sheily, AGO 24, 2010

Why do you think there should be one?
