The "¨" emote, also known as a diaeresis or umlaut, is used to indicate that two adjacent vowels should be pronounced separately rather than as a diphthong. It is commonly used in languages such as German and French.
- Example 1:
Surprise & Joy: "Zoë's artwork won first prize at the art show." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "o" and "e" in the name "Zoë".) - Example 6:
Sadness & Longing: "I miss the café where I used to order crème brûlée." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "e" and "e" in the French dessert "crème brûlée".) - Example 10:
Amusement & Delight: "My friend's name is Noël, which means Christmas in French." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "o" and "e" in the name "Noël".)
