AI overview
A diacritic is a small mark added above, below, or through a letter to change how it's pronounced or to distinguish it from other letters. These marks are used in many languages around the world—for example, the accent over the "e" in "café" or the tilde over the "n" in "señor"—and they're important for spelling words correctly and pronouncing them the way native speakers do.
