What does the dots over the you and j mean?

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.
