Question:

A diphthong, or a ‘gliding vowel’ is the sound made by adjacent vowels in a word. Sometimes these diphthongs are represented by a ligature-style mark made up of two otherwise separate characters. They are not all that common in English, however we do borrow a lot of words from other languages so you will come across them from time to time.
