ArchivesRe: We call it "trema"
in reply to a message by Ylva
Yes, it's a trema, which is used in French to indicate that two adjacent vowels are pronounced separately: "zo-EH"
I'm surpised that Zoé is a legimate spelling. In this version, he accent does create the 'eh' sound, but the 'oe', by French pronunciation rules, would be a diphthong.
