	The Accent
		With any of these meanings, the term "accent" is used to describe differences in pronunciation that are often significant and may generate doubts or confusions in students of Italian as a Second language.
		The circumflex accent (^) can be found in poetry and indicates either the contraction of two vowels (as in "ozî", for "ozii") or the elimination of a syllable (as in "tôrre" for "togliere").
		According to Italian spelling rules, the accent mark is required only when the stress falls on the last vowel of words formed by more than one syllable (as in "città, caffè, felicità") and on monosyllabic words that can be confused with a similar term ("né" as opposed to "ne").

	Ancient Greek Accents
		Grammarians asserted that an acute accent or the higher part of a circumflex accent was tonally a perfect fifth higher than the surrounding unaccented syllables.
		Possible positions of acute accent are restricted by the length of the accented vowel or diphthong and the length of the vowel or diphthong in the final syllable.
		If the persistent accent is on the antepenult, but some forms of the word change the ending from short to long vowels, the accent must comply with the constraints of the possible position restrictions; these forms then show an acute penultimate accent (paroxytone).

		The symbol of masculinity melded with the circumflex accent to signify an Eau de Toilette for men.
		Notice the freedom with which these folks play with these accents--the accent "signals the origin of the brand as surely as a flag floating over international [world of] cosmetics." See how this is evoked above with the circumflex accent 'floating/flying/fluttering' above the O itself.

	Greek Diacritics
		The form of the Latin circumflex also reflects the original Greek form: it was a combination of the acute and the grave (being a rising then falling pitch accent), and was originally also called oxybarys, "acute-grave" (Thompson 1912:61).
		However, Porson's circumflex is in fact a revival of the older shape of the diacritic.

	Apostrophe and acute accent confusion
		Before ISO 8859-1 came around, there was no use for the acute accent key on German keyboards, therefore it was simply mapped to the apostrophe in keyboard drivers and people got used to it.
		In the "de(basic)" mapping, the keys for acute (E12), grave (Shift+E12), tilde (AltGr+D12), and circumflex (E0) are all non-spacing.
		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.
