	Diacritic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A diacritical mark or diacritic, sometimes called an accent mark, is a mark added to a letter to alter a word's pronunciation or to distinguish between similar words.
		The main usage of a diacritic is to change the phonetic meaning of the letter, but the term is also used in a more general sense of changing the meaning of the letter or even the whole word.
		In Hanyu Pinyin, the four tones of Mandarin Chinese are denoted by the macron, acute, caron and grave diacritics.

	Encyclopedia: Diacritic
		In linguistics, a diaeresis or dieresis (AE) (from Greek diairein, to divide) is the modification of a syllable by distinctly pronouncing one of its vowels.
		When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot is usually reserved for the middle dot ·;, or to the glyphs combining dot above ̇ and combining dot below ̣ which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in Eastern European languages and Vietnamese.
		Further, a mark may be diacritical in one language, but not in another; for example, in French, e and ë are considered the same letter, while in German, they are considered to be the separate letters.

	Ring (diacritic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In punctuation, the term ring is usually reserved for the ring above diacritic mark ˚ (looks similar to the degree sign °).

		The ring as a diacritic mark should not be confused with the dot above or comma above diacritic marks, or with the degree sign °.

		Diacritic marks are manifestly a makeshift, and a practical alphabet for current use should not be constructed of makeshifts.
		Diacritic marks too have not been altogether banished: they are used to show 'central' vowels, nasalized vowels, and tones.
		For example, the writing of palatal consonants with digraphs avoids the introduction of a diacritic mark or new letters; moreover, digraphs are already commonly used for this purpose, particularly for ny, which occurs in so many languages.

		Special diacritic marks are necessary for using transliteration in Roman script to refer to terms in various Asian languages, such as Sanskrit, Japanese and so forth.
		The use of proprietary fonts for such diacritic marks is not optimal, since there are several of these fonts and no easy way to convert from one to another.
		The obvious solution to this problem is the use of Unicode fonts, which utilize a world wide standard for the encoding of these diacritic marks, such that all Unicode fonts are completely interchangeable.

		Until recently, diacritic fonts were encoded in ASCII and required multiple font files or code pages to render the full range of diacritics.
		The advent of Unicode has, on the other hand, provided a way for all the necessary diacritic characters to be contained in a single font, while Unicode’s increasing usage is evidence of its enduring viability.
		While Arial Unicode MS is the most comprehensive Unicode font and contains all the necessary diacritic characters necessary for Asian Studies, the Arial family of fonts is in general less aesthetically appealing then some of the other font family.

		Phonetic symbols are basically the letters of the Roman alphabet with special marks known as diacritic marks.
		Roman transliteration which makes use of diacritic marks works better for Indian languages and in the last few decades some standardization has been effected based on the recommendation from the National Library in Calcutta.
		Roman letter assignments in this scheme along with the diacritics which go with the letters are phonetically equivalent to the aksharas.

		In modern book publishing, the problem is solved by adding diacritic marks to some of the English letters.

		Like us, they use the book publishing system without diacritic marks, but they indicate the missing marks with underscores.

		Only sequences beginning with a backslash are interpreted according to the VIQR convention for diacritic marks.
