  Diaeresis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linguistics, a, diaeresis, or dieresis (AE) (from Greek διαιρεῖν (diaerein), to divide) is the modification of a syllable by distinctly pronouncing one of its vowels.
Diaeresis was used in the early Cyrillic alphabet which was used to write Old Church Slavonic.
The Cyrillic alphabet letters A, O and U (А, О, У) with diaeresis have been used in the Altay, Mari and Keräşen Tatar alphabets for the sounds ä, ö, ü since the 19th century.

 Ü - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U with diaeresis occurs in several languages which use diaereses.
U is normally silent in these languages, and Ü is used to indicate the vowel is to be pronounced in a position where it would normally be silent, specifically between a "G" and an "E" or "I" and between a "Q" and an "E" or "I" in Portuguese and Catalan.
For ü, it is anduuml; (Mnemonic for "U umlaut").

In linguistics a diaeresis or dieresis (AE) (from Greek diairein "to divide") is the modification of syllable by distinctly pronouncing one of its vowels.
In French Greek and Dutch and in English borrowings from them this is often to indicate that the second of a of vowels is to be pronounced as separate vowel rather than being treated as or as part of a diphthong as in the word naïve or the name Zoë.
The diaeresis is also occasionally used on English words for the above purposes (as "coöperate" "reënact" and the surname "Brontë") but usage has become very rare since the The New Yorker magazine is noted as one of few sources that still spells "coöperate" with diaeresis.

It also appears in the German alphabet, where it represents "U" with umlaut, and is alphabetized together with "U".
In Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan "Ü" is the letter "U" with a diaeresis, indicating that it is to be pronounced in a position where it would normally be silent, specifically between a "G" and an "E" or "I" and between a "Q" and an "E" or "I" in Portuguese and Catalan.
If the "U" is, however, to be pronounced, then a diaeresis is added; for example, lingüística (linguistics) is pronounced /lingwistika/, not /lingistika/.

 Greek Diacritics
In the case of Greek, this holds for grave, acute, and diaeresis.
The Unicode standard notes (§7.2) that the acute as used in Greek typography is steeper than it is for Western European languages; the same holds for the acute as used in Polish or Czech (§7.7).
The crucial piece of triage was the third: rather than have a single glyph for titlecase breathings to the left of the letter, fonts would use one codepoint for the breathing, and one glyph for the capital letter.

Whereas a diphthong has a single sound, the vowel pair with diaeresis forms two sounds, and the vowels are divided into separate syllables.
which is normally a diphthong has a diaeresis mark over the second vowel, hence the vowel pair has the sound of the two separate vowels.
Also note that their is an acute accent mark with the diaeresis mark (it is between the two dots that make up the diaeresis).

I use a font for \chapter that does print u-diearesis with \"u.
Then I decided to write a small definition \udotdot that uses \char200 to print the diaeresis on top of the letter u.
The problem now is that in my table of contents, the font is different, and the \char200 has a different meaning.
