| | Grave accent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | On many computer keyboards, the grave accent occupies a key by itself, and is meant to be combined with vowels as a multi-key combination. | | | In Catalan, the grave accent (or accent obert as it's called in this language) is used to mark both the stress and the distinct quality of certain stressed vowels, such as è [ɛ] versus é [e], or such as ò [ɔ] versus ó [o]. | | | In Welsh, the accent is used to denote a short vowel sound in a word which would otherwise be pronounced with a long vowel sound, for example mẁg ("a mug") versus mwg ("smoke"). |

| | Wells: Orthographic diacritics |
| | Accented letters are one of the possible ways of repairing the inadequacies of the Latin alphabet and thus solving this problem. | | | He also analyses the problems of using accented letters in a multilingual computing environment, and discusses the extent to which these problems have been resolved, with particular reference to Unicode. | | | In this article we discuss the various diacritics that are so used and the problems this has given rise to in a multilingual computing environment — problems now arguably on the way to a satisfactory solution through the adoption of the international standard known as Unicode. |

| | Apostrophe and acute accent confusion |
| | This keeps the grave accent spacing for the time the measures under A) are not yet implemented (and so nothing changes for TeX and Emacs users), but it makes the acute accent non-spacing, to prevent its accidental use as an apostrophe. | | | The m4 macro processor uses the grave accent and apostrophe to delimit strings. | | | The m4 mode of Emacs should automatically turn an apostrophe into a grave accent if the context suggests that this is the beginning of a string. |

| | ASCII and Unicode quotation marks |
| | Obviously, grave accent and acute accent have to be mutually symmetric, which was not the case in the old X fonts. | | | Since 0x60/0xB4 were defined to be accents by the modern standards, their symmetric shape got priority, except that this had not been fixed in the X fonts until 2004 (somewhat earlier in the versions that come with XFree86). | | | Updated X Window System core BDF fonts have been available since 1998, in which the apostrophe and grave accent are now corrected, along with a number of other bugs. |

| | Typing Accents |
| | In any event, typing accents on a computer is not a very difficult task, if you know how to go about it. | | | There is a better way for typing common accents than either of the above two methods. | | | Any other key pressed after the CTRL+apostrophe combination makes the computer ring a bell: that combination must be followed by a vowel (to get the accented character). |
