U+055B "՛" Armenian Emphasis Mark is a diacritical mark used in the Armenian script to indicate emphasis or a stressed syllable in a word, similar in function to an acute accent in other writing systems. It is placed over a vowel or a consonant that carries syllabic stress, and it appears as a small, right-leaning stroke above the letter. This mark is an essential component of Armenian orthography, helping to clarify pronunciation and meaning, particularly in literary and formal texts where stress placement can distinguish between homographs.
