Many question, but I'd be surprised if the default font of your terminal supported a fictitious° character like ÿ.

See also Metal Umlaut! :)

°) well maybe not fictitious but very rare. But the Latin 1 code is 255 which answers another question.

update

Btw its not an umlaut!

In German its a medieval handwriting ligature of ij, a diphthong still found in Dutch (see rijk), those sounds are written ei in modern German (see Reich)

In French trema accents are used to pronounce adjacent vowels separately (see Citroën or naïve). English imported some of them.
