minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•6 months agoI honestly wasn’t aware naïve had a dieresis in English. I mean, it makes complete sense for it to have one in languages that use them, but I wasn’t aware it was a loanword (from French or Normand, I assume).

It’s from french although naive is also a valid spelling.
