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 5:
Disgust & Annoyance: "I can't believe my co-worker spelled coöperate with two dots." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "o" and "o" in the word "coöperate".) - Example 7:
Anger & Frustration: "The résumé was filled with typos and grammatical errors." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "e" and "u" in the French loanword "résumé".) - Example 2:
Excitement & Amusement: "I learned to play the ukulele and now I can play 'La Cucaracha' with ease." (Note how the diaeresis separates the two vowels "u" and "e" in the Spanish word "Cucaracha".)
