that would be an omlaut (oooom-lau as i call it) anyway it's mainly used in Scandinavian and germanic names to give proper emphasis to a letter. I think it makes it a long a.. I am not sure but, it does note stres and pronunciation.
^_^
hopefully that helps

The dots over i and j are called tittles. This is what wikipedia says:The tittle first appeared in Latin manuscripts in the 11th century, to distinguish the letter i from strokes of nearby letters. Although originally a larger mark, it was reduced to a dot when Roman-style typefaces were introduced.The 'u' or 'j' with two dots over are used in some languages,hungarian, Portuguese, to represent a different vowel sound to the English sound.I think they represent a vowel that is more 'fronted' than the English vowel.

As the distance of the dots from the center increases, the number of dots per unit area decreases. This is because the area over which the dots are distributed becomes larger as they move away from the center, resulting in a lower density of dots per unit area. Mathematically, this relationship can be described by the inverse square law, where the intensity (or density) of a phenomenon decreases as the square of the distance from the source increases.
