Lettertype accents, also known as diacritical marks, are symbols added to letters to modify their pronunciation or meaning. They are used in various languages to indicate specific sounds or to distinguish between words that would otherwise be identical. The most common lettertype accents include the acute accent (é), grave accent (è), circumflex (â), umlaut or diaeresis (ü), and cedilla (ç). These accents are placed above, below, or through the letters they modify. For example, in French, the acute accent on the letter "e" (é) indicates a different sound than the unaccented "e". In German, the umlaut on the letter "u" (ü) changes the pronunciation of the vowel. Lettertype accents are an essential part of the writing systems of many languages and play a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity.
