Category:English words spelled with nonstandard characters
Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary
English normally uses a plain alphabet of 26 unadorned letters. However, certain classes of words are (or were formerly) written with diacritics or ligatures. One such class is certain words borrowed from other languages, including the words café, façade, Führer, and naïve.
Another class uses diaeresis to indicate in a pairing of identical vowels that the second vowel is to be pronounced separately from the first. In this case, the second vowel is either pronounced differently, as in reëxamine, or just pronounced separately with a slight hiatus or y sound, as in reëlect.
