What does an accent on a letter look like?

It depends on the letter and the language! Accents can look very different depending on the context. Here are some examples:

Common Accents:

* Acute Accent: (á) - Found in Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, and some other languages.

* Grave Accent: (à) - Found in French, Italian, and some other languages.

* Circumflex Accent: (â) - Found in French, Romanian, Portuguese, and some other languages.

* Tilde: (ã) - Found in Portuguese, Spanish, and some other languages.

* Umlaut: (ä, ö, ü) - Found in German, Swedish, Finnish, and some other languages.

* Diaeresis: (ë) - Found in French, German, and some other languages.

* Macron: (ā) - Found in Latin, Hawaiian, and some other languages.

* Breve: (ă) - Found in Latin, Romanian, and some other languages.

Example of how accents look on different letters:

* á é í ó ú (Spanish)

* à è ì ò ù (Italian)

* â ê î ô û (French)

* ä ö ü (German)

The purpose of accents is to change the pronunciation of a letter. They can indicate different vowel sounds, stress, or even change the meaning of a word.

It's important to note that accents are not always used consistently across languages, and some languages use different accent marks.

If you're interested in learning more about accents, I recommend checking out a dictionary or language resource specific to the language you are interested in.
