Trema (diacritic) The diaeresis (/daɪˈɛrɨsɨs/ dy-ERR-ə-səs) (also spelled diæresis or dieresis; plural: -es), trema or umlaut is a diacritic that consists of two dots ( ¨ ) placed over a letter, most commonly a vowel. When that letter is an i or a j, the diacritic replaces the tittle: ï.[1] The same symbol is also used as a diacritic in other cases, distinct from both diaeresis and umlaut. For example, in Albanian, ë represents a schwa. The word diaeresis is from Ancient Greek: διαίρεσις, meaning division, separation, distinction.[2] Plugins Introduction KeePass features a plugin framework.
