Diacritical marks
From DPCanadaWiki
To be created/developped and updated Diacritical marks, sometimes referred to as diacritic marks or the "short-hand" term diacriticals, are small marks found above or below a basic character which change the pronunciation of that character. For example, the acute accent over the "e" in the character "é" is a diacritical mark.
Characters with diacritical marks are proofed two different ways in DPC projects, depending upon whether the needed character is or is not available in the UTF-8 character set:
- Proofing Guidelines for accented and other characters in UTF-8. (Basically use the characters available from the drop-down lists in the Proofreading Interface.)
- Proofing Guidelines for accented and other characters not in UTF-8 .
