A [[diacritic]] is a mark near or through a character that changes its phonetic value or significance. For example, diacritics appear above the letter "e" in the word "résumé," distinguishing the noun from the verb "resume." Diacritics are more common in various European languages than they are in English.
The spelling of names and words, including diacritics, should follow that given in an American reference work. Several are available on the Web: [http://www.merriam-webster.com/ Merriam-Webster], ''[http://websters.yourdictionary.com/ Webster's New World College Dictionary]'', ''[http://ahdictionary.com/ American Heritage]'', ''[http://dictionary.reference.com/ Random House]'', ''[http://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/ Columbia Encyclopedia]'' and ''[http://www.britannica.com/ Encyclopedia Britannica]''.
