I seem to remember my German teacher telling me that an umlaut and the
symbol with two dots (whose name eludes me) were different. The two-dots
symbol is used in Zoe on the 'e', which is a different sound in German to
an umlaut, which should be written as two vertical lines IIRC. Are there
any Germans in the Haus who can confirm this?

Bye,
