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. ;-)
