The Unicode Standard has precomposed letters with diaeresis: Latin a, e, i, o, u, y, h, t, w, x Greek upsilon Cyrillic a, schwa, zhe, ze, i, o, barred o, e, u, che, yeru No n with diaeresis. Never did and never will. So this appears to be a case of false memory, perhaps brought on by listening to "Back from the Dead" (cranked up to 11) too many times. ;-)
I don't know what it is, but it is being used.
