diacritics
◮ do not occur in isolation, they are typically “carried” by a letter◮ two ways of producing letters with diacritics
1. the letter with the diacritic is one unique, precomposed character, i.e.,one glyph (with a code of its own): e.g., ISO 8859, Unicode, etc.

some Polish typographers insist that theacute accent in Polish (a.k.a. kreska) isdifferent from the acute accent — this isprobably a source of national pride ,
