U+00B4 "´" Acute Accent Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+00B4 "´" Acute Accent is a diacritical mark used in many languages, such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Greek, to indicate a specific pronunciation, stress, or tone on a vowel, as seen in words like "café" or "résumé." It is distinct from the apostrophe or the single quotation mark, though it can appear similar in some fonts, and it belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement block of Unicode, where it serves as a standalone spacing character rather than a combining mark. In computing, it is often employed in text processing and typesetting to denote stressed syllables or to differentiate meanings between otherwise identical words.
