The same (in every respect) as Latin diaeresis.

A neologism (AFAIK) of the Unicode Standard: the small lowercase
iota used in place of hypogegrammeni (iota subscript) in titlecase
text. (In archaic text, which is all-uppercase by nature, an
ordinary capital iota is used instead.)

> vrachy, and macron

Used in teaching contexts to represent the marks for short and long
vowels respectively (that is, on alpha, iota, and ypsilon).
