The '''acute accent''' (´) is a [[diacritic]] used in many modern written languages with [[Latin script]], [[Cyrillic script]], and [[Greek script]]. It is employed to indicate a variety of phonetic values, including [[stress (linguistics)|stress]], [[vowel height]], [[vowel length]], and [[tone (linguistics)|tone]].

==Usage in Different Languages==
===Latin Script===
In languages that use the [[Latin alphabet]], the acute accent is often used to denote [[stress (linguistics)|stress]] or to distinguish between words that would otherwise be homographs.

* In [[Spanish language|Spanish]], the acute accent is used to indicate the stressed syllable in words where the stress does not follow the default rules. For example, ''café'' (coffee) and ''tú'' (you).
* In [[French language|French]], it is used on the letter ''e'' to indicate a change in pronunciation, as in ''école'' (school).
* In [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], it marks stressed vowels in words where the stress is not on the penultimate syllable, such as ''avó'' (grandmother).

===Greek Script===
In [[Greek language|Greek]], the acute accent (known as ''τόνος'') indicates the stressed syllable in a word. For example, ''καφές'' (coffee).

===Cyrillic Script===
In some languages that use the [[Cyrillic alphabet]], such as [[Russian language|Russian]], the acute accent is used to denote stress, particularly in dictionaries and language learning materials. For example, ''замок'' (castle) vs. ''замок'' (lock).

==Computing==
In [[Unicode]], the acute accent is encoded at U+00B4. It can be combined with various letters to form accented characters, such as ''é'' (U+00E9) and ''á'' (U+00E1).
