I do not find one with the double dots over the E.

The Ë is not used in German, and the ë is used very rare, only sometimes to
designate that the e is spoken separately from the preceeding vowel - e.g.
in soëben.

I just translated my German GenWiki page on special characters into English
and included the umlauts - it is now under
http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/wiki/Help:Special_characters

Feel free to brush up my English as well as the names for the MS Windows
clicks after "<Start>" since I do not have an English Windows version.

Gruß
Gerd (Schmerse)
