A diacritical mark is a symbol added to a letter to indicate a modification in pronunciation, stress, tone, or meaning. These marks can appear above, below, or through letters in various languages. Common examples of diacritical marks include:
- **Acute accent (´)**: as in "é" (French).
- **Grave accent (`)**: as in "è" (French).
- **Circumflex (ˆ)**: as in "ô" (French).
- **Tilde (˜)**: as in "ñ" (Spanish).
- **Umlaut or diaeresis (¨)**: as in "ö" (German).
- **Cedilla (¸)**: as in "ç" (French and Portuguese).
Diacritical marks can significantly change the meaning of words and are important for proper pronunciation in many languages.
