The e placed in the o in certain French words is to show what is called umlaut. In German, the same effect is created with the two dots ( called an umlaut) over the o. Umlaut changes the sound of a vowel, in this case from o to something more like er.

The French put their o's and e's together to create a specific sound called the "œ" sound, known as a ligature. This combination represents a single phoneme in French and is used in words like "œuf" (egg) and "cœur" (heart). It helps to maintain the integrity of the pronunciation and is a distinctive aspect of the French language.
