The Braille cell holds six dots, in two columns of three. • • • • • •
It depends where they are. There are six possible dot positions, two columns of three dots each. So 3 dots could be D, F, H, J, L, M, O, S or U. See the link below.
Corduroy The Bear does not wear polka dotted pants. Corduroy The Bear's pants are green corduroy overalls. However Corduroy The Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls. Mickey Mouse does have two polka dots on his red pants.
Mickey Mouse has buttons on his pants, not polka dots. When Mickey Mouse was made in 1928, zippers were not available on children's clothing. It was a recent invention and was not generally accepted as a fastener in clothing. It was simpler to make Mickey's pants with two buttons rather than many.

Those dots are called an "Umlaut". They indicate that the e should be pronounced separately. So it's not pronounced Noel, like the name Joel. It's pronounced as No-El.
Two dots over a vowel is normally called a dieresis. There is a special case of the dieresis in German where the two dots cause the vowel to change (sound and meaning): this special case is called umlaut.
In the example of "noël" its pronounced "nowell" but without an ë, as in "Noel", it's pronounced like the name ie Noel Edmonds :)

dieresis
The two dots above a letter, you mean, would be called a diaeresis and/or an umlaut.
Christmas = Noel (with two dots over the e) Halloween = la nuit des sorcieres (with an accent grave over the first e in sorcieres) Easter = Paques (with an accent circonflexe over the a) Thanksgiving = d'action de graces (with an accent circonflexe over the a in graces)
in German they are called umlauts
10 is two lines 11 is one dot over two lines 12 is two dots over two lines etc... 20 is one dot over a shell. 21 is one dot over one dot 22 is one dot over two dots etc... 39 is one dot over four dots over three lines 40 is two dots over a shell 41 is two dots over one dot 42 is two dots over two dots etc... 60 is three dots over a shell etc... 80 is four dots over a shell etc... 100 is a line over a shell The Mayan number system is a base-20 system. A dot is 1, a line is 5, and up to 19 you can write in one "digit". As soon as the number increases over 20, it goes up into the second "digit" and you stack a dot (this time multiplied by 20) over a shell shape (worth zero). It's just like our number system, except our number system uses a base-10 system.
I think the two dots are an umlaut. In that cas it is pronunced as if there were an e after the a. 'Staer'
The : symbol is called a colon.
