For example, U+00E4 ä LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS represents both a-umlaut and a-diaeresis. Nevertheless, in modern computer systems using Unicode, the umlaut and diaeresis diacritics are encoded identically. These two diacritics have different origins, the diaeresis being considerably older. Neither of these phenomena occur in English, except in loanwords (like naïve) or for stylistic reasons (as in the Brontë family or Mötley Crüe).

The "umlaut" diacritic, in contrast, indicates a sound shift phenomenon – also known as umlaut – in which a back vowel becomes a front vowel.

The "diaeresis" diacritic is used to mark the separation of two distinct vowels in adjacent syllables when an instance of diaeresis (or hiatus) occurs, so as to distinguish from a digraph or diphthong.

The "diaeresis" and the "umlaut" are diacritics marking two distinct phonological phenomena. Their appearance in print or on screen may vary between typefaces but rarely within the same typeface.

In computer systems, both forms have the same code point (binary code). They both consist of two dots ¨ placed over a letter, usually a vowel when that letter is an i or a j, the diacritic replaces the tittle: ï. The diaeresis ( / d aɪ ˈ ɛr ə s ɪ s, - ˈ ɪər-/ dy- ERR-ə-sis, -⁠ EER- also known as the trema) and the umlaut ( / ˈ ʊ m l aʊ t/) are two different diacritical marks that (in modern usage) look alike.
