looking at the above, one can see that "diaeresis" is "two dots on top"...

the O or o with the forward slash like the divided-by symbol is its own
separate vowel character/letter in Scandianiavian...

diaeresis and umlaut look the same (two dots on top) but they signify different
 pronounciations...

  "The diaeresis and the umlaut are diacritics marking two distinct
   phonological phenomena. The diaeresis represents the phenomenon
   also known as diaeresis or hiatus in which a vowel letter is
   pronounced separately from an adjacent vowel and not as part of a
   digraph or diphthong. The umlaut (/'?mla?t/), in contrast, indicates
   a sound shift. These two diacritics originated separately; the
   diaeresis is considerably older."

in unicode, both are coded the same so something like HTML ä is both
a-umlaut and a-diaeresis in the same way that the hyphen and minus are
represented by the same character glyph...

the above gleaned in about 10 minutes research on the web
