To me it looks more like a tréma:

meaning the written vowel is to be actually voiced. From the above link:
Par exemple, maïs se prononce comme ma hisse et non pas comme mais.

In my emailed version, Kermit's degree-sign now comes across loud and clear
just as it should.
What's more I can now see that the accent over the e in his surname is not
a grave, as I had surmised, but a circonflexe. Whatever that may do to the
way that you say it.
