How to get the “..” over a character usually means how to type two dots above a letter or make a diaeresis/umlaut like in “ë” or “ï”. The easiest way is to use your device’s character picker, keyboard shortcuts, or copy-paste the exact accented letter you need.

Quick ways

  • On Windows: use the Character Map app or Alt codes for specific accented letters.
  • On Mac: press and hold the letter key to see accent options, or use the Character Viewer.
  • On phones: long-press the letter on the keyboard to see accented versions.
  • In HTML/text editors: use the character directly or its Unicode character if supported.

Examples

  • “ë” = e with two dots.
  • “ï” = i with two dots.
  • “ö” = o with two dots.

If you meant the mark itself

If you want two dots above a letter as a separate symbol , that is a diacritic, and the exact method depends on the letter and app you’re using. The fastest workaround is often to copy the finished character from a keyboard character menu or symbol picker. Would you like the exact steps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, or HTML?
