About the A Umlaut Symbol

The lowercase a with umlaut (diaeresis) is used in German, Swedish, Finnish, and other languages. In German, it represents a fronted vowel sound distinct from plain 'a'. The two dots above the letter originated from a small 'e' written above the vowel in medieval German manuscripts.
