It depends on the language. In most languages, it's to indicate that the a should NOT be combined with the adjacent vowel, but pronounced in a separate syllable.
In German, however, it changes the sound of the vowel itself. (Specifically, on the letter a, it means it should be pronounced as "ay" instead of the usual "ah".)

In linguistics, diaeresis, diæresis or dieresis, is the pronunciation of two adjacent vowels in two separate syllables rather than as a diphthong or vowel digraph, and also the name of the diacritic mark ( ¨ ) used to prompt the reader to pronounce adjacent vowels in this manner.

How many 3 letter combinations with 26 letters without repetition?
I assume you mean no repetition to be ABC and not ABA OR AAB. That being said this is very straight forward. The first position can potentially have any of the 26 letters. the second position can only have 1 of 25 possible letters because one letter has already be selected for the first position. And the final position can only have 1 of 24 possible letters because two letters have already been selected for the first two positions. Just multiply the number of possibilities for each position together and you have your answer. 26 * 25 * 24 = 15600 possible combinations.

Do dots above letters in French mean it is silent?
No. Dots above letters (such as in Noël, maïs, aigüe) known as the "signe tréma" in French, indicate that the world is pronounced differently (like accents do). The tréma is rather rare in French and many French natives tend to forget it when writing.The tréma in french is used to split a dipthong. A dipthong is when two vowels join together to create one sound. For example, a + i = the "i" sound in "like". But sometimes you may wish to not join the sounds. In the case of Maïs, it is pronounced "Ma-is" as opposed to the English word "Mice". It is important to note that this use of the tréma is a particularly french one. The German use, called the "umlaut" is used for rounding vowels and is the most common application of the two dots.
