U+00E1 "á" Latin Small Letter A with Acute is a precomposed, accented version of the lowercase letter "a" that represents the vowel sound with a stress or high tone, commonly used in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, and Czech. This character is formed by adding an acute accent diacritic above the base letter, with its code point in the Latin-1 Supplement block of the Unicode standard, and it is distinct from the alternative representation of combining a plain "a" with the combining acute accent character. In typography, "á" functions as a distinct grapheme that can change meaning or grammatical context in certain languages, such as in Spanish where it often indicates stress on the final syllable.
