The evolution of the umlaut dots, exemplified by the word "schön" (beautiful) in Sütterlin style handwriting. The first version shows it written as schoen; the second version has the small 'e' above the 'o' (a "vertical ligature"), the third version shows the modern dot-like umlaut, which evolved from the second version.
Please note that it's not exactly Sütterlin, but close. To emphasise the thickness of vertical strokes, I've written it with a broad nib, which is somewhat untypical.
