Combining Acute-Vertical-Line

Combining Acute-Vertical-Line at U+1AD3 places a compound accent mark above the preceding character, combining an acute-like stroke with a vertical line as a nonspacing diacritic. It is in the Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block, a set used for specialized accent, tone, phonetic, and transcription marks rather than ordinary punctuation or standalone symbols. Its main use is in technical linguistic notation, especially where a transcription system needs to record a precise tonal or prosodic distinction on a vowel or syllabic letter. In language documentation and phonetic work, stacked or compound above-marks can distinguish tone contours, stress-like prominence, or orthography-specific accent values that a simple acute accent would not capture. It may also appear in scholarly editions and digital encoding of minority-language materials when printed sources use this exact accent shape over letters. The important practical point is that it attaches to the character before it, so it should be treated as part of that base letter for editing and searching; if separated or placed after the wrong character, the text can display or match incorrectly.
