Diacritic mark - A diacritic mark is an additional graphic such as an accent (as in è or é) or cedilla (as in ç) attached to a character. It may affect the pronunciation of a character, or the meaning of a word, or both. It appears visually close to the base character, often above or below it, possibly crossing over its line, but it is treated as a logically separable part.
