Definition of dieresis in English English dictionary

A diacritic ( ¨ ) placed over the second of two consecutive vowels to indicate that the second vowel is to be pronounced separately from the preceding vowel (as in the girls’ given name of Zoë).

Now an uncommon practice in English, but still used in some other languages (e.g. French: haïr, Dutch: ruïne)
