U+0301 "́" Combining Acute Accent Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

́

U+0301 "́" Combining Acute Accent is a diacritical mark that is designed to be placed above a preceding base character, such as a letter, to modify its pronunciation or meaning. It is commonly used in various languages, including Spanish for stress placement like in the word "café," in French for the letter "e" as "é," and in Greek for the tonos accent. As a combining character, it does not occupy its own space but rather merges with the base glyph, allowing for dynamic typographic stacking in Unicode text. Its widespread use makes it essential for accurate representation of many written languages and linguistic transcription systems.
