Not exactly: we have only three lower case and three upper case  
umlauts that appear on printed paper like a vowel with two dots on  
them, but when hand-written the dots become short more or less  
vertical and parallel lines (like hungarumlauts, but less declined),  
and these characters are part of the 'sound' (don't imagine the right  
word for the pronounced syllable). A trema (Greek) (unlike a  
dieresis, Greek, too) is always two dots -- and it separates, as in  
(French) naïf, Citroën, Caën!
