it has come to my attention that the chinese translation of Häagen-Dazs ALSO has a spurious umlaut on it

i'm glad to see that Häagen-Dazs Inc. is thorough in its commitment to spurious umläute https://twitter.com/drbuttocks/status/1279630143204454401
I wonder if Unicode modifiers like Combining Diaeresis https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0308 would work on non-euro scripts, I mean they definitely do weird stacks as in zalgo/glitch

Häagen-Dazs shouldn't be allowed to sell ice cream, only ïce crëam https://twitter.com/osukaa88/status/1279634272383578118
Ah, it turns out that's also what my android phone was showing, I just didn't notice the little bumps!
(somewhere, quietly, a Google engineer files a bug: "improve spacing display of umlaut combining modifier with Chinese characters") https://twitter.com/drbuttocks/status/1279635113366568961

Frankly, it is also making me wonder about transliterations into still more languages, are there spurious dots on the Japanese or Korean Häagen-Däzsen also
(Arabic seems hard, since it already does something different with dots, but I live in hope) https://twitter.com/tale_of_the_fox/status/1279648197623771136

evidence of a secret döt conspiracy between häagen-dazs and the new yorker??? https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/1279651723313729539
