#2 is in error, as there are only 26 characters in the modern English alphabet, none with a diaresis in it.
All characters that also include a diaresis used in a name/word have been adopted from the language of which the word is borrowed.
Emily Brontë, Noël Coward and the constellation of Boötes use borrowed characters from the language of origin. In a modern English dictionary or encyclopedia, one can look these up using the English spelling, Emily Bronte, Noel Coward and Bootes and find the same definition.
If you can point us to an official modern day English alphabet that consists of more than 26 characters, I'd be surprised.
