Retained in foreign loan words (mostly Frenché), particularly when unassimilated:
The first and last uses are not always distinct, but can be differentiated in words such aspâté ~paté andrésumé ~resumé, where the final acute is retained even when the other French diacritics are dropped.
The acute accent is not used in ordinary Bulgarian writing.
Contrarily, thegrave accent is used to denote stressed syllables in dictionaries, whereas the use of the acute for this purpose is vanishingly rare.
However, on the English Wiktionary, the acute is used for consistency with East Slavic languages, which traditionally use acutes for stress denotation.
The acute accent is used to disambiguate words when the placement of stress is important to distinguish meanings (e.g.,één in its numerical sense of “one”). It is also used to place emphasis on a specific word or syllable. It is also retained in some French loanwords, mostly to distinguish/eː/ from/ə/.
The line is not seen as a diacritic, and all the letters are considered separate letters of the alphabet each having its own name. Other diacritic letters likeÉ/é andĆ/ć appear in names of foreign origin.
Adiacritical mark of theLatin script, calledsíneadh fada(“long mark”) in Irish, and found onÁ/á, É/é, Í/í, Ó/ó and Ú/ú.It is used to indicate a long vowel, but a vowel without the mark can also be a long vowel in some circumstances.
Adiacritical mark of theLatin script, called尖音符(jiānyīnfú,“acute tone mark”) in Mandarin, and found onÁ/á, É/é, Í/í, Ó/ó, Ú/ú and Ǘ/ǘ,representing the陽平聲 /阳平声(yángpíng shēng,“light level tone”), also known as the第二聲 /第二声(“second tone”), inPinyin.
On a consonant, the kreska indicates that the consonant is pronounced with apalatal articulation. It is used only when the consonant is not followed by a vowel. A palatal consonant followed by a vowel is indicated byI/i after the consonant instead.
On the letterÓ/ó, the kreska indicates that it is pronounced asU/u but may alternate withO/o in inflections.

(lexicography) Adiacritical mark, both in the Cyrillic and Latin script, used to denote a long-rising accent. Not used in everyday writing. Can be used on vowels and thesyllabic R:
In Vietnamese handwriting and signmaking, this tone mark may be written as a vertical line, like a combining', and the letterI/i retains itstittle.
In earlier versions of Unicode, this tone mark was encoded as U+0341 rather than U+0301. Unicode compliant processes do not intentionally distinguish them.
