Do you mean a diaeresis? It's in the ASCII range. Option Shift U on a Mac
English keyboard. It is code point U+00A8. I'm not sure what you meant by
"middle of the line". Do you mean middle vertically?
There is the Two Dot Leader U+2025, which is low in the line.
There is a Middle Dot U+00B7, but no Middle Two Dots.

Of course, lowering or raising the diaeresis to your liking can also be a
matter of formatting.

HTH,
