However, there are various types of diacritics and their specific name depends on the symbol and its function:
* Acute accent: This is a slanted line that points upwards, like in "é" or "á".
* Grave accent: This is a slanted line that points downwards, like in "è" or "à".
* Circumflex accent: This is a curved line that looks like a tiny roof, like in "ê" or "â".
* Tilde: This is a wavy line above a vowel, like in "ñ" or "õ".
* Macron: This is a straight horizontal line above a vowel, like in "ā" or "ē".
* Breve: This is a small curved line above a vowel, like in "ă" or "ĭ".
If you can provide the specific symbol you are referring to, I can give you its exact name!
