name "Zoё"

Hello! Could you help me, please, to find out why the name Zo? is written in the English language with the letter "?" at the end? It is not an English letter, not German. So, what language did this letter come from in the name Zo??

Thank you!

com/name/zoe The dots above the e are a diacritical mark called a diaeresis , indicating that the vowels are to be pronounced separately, unlike in the name 'Joe'. Rover
