Diacritic
A character that is attached to or overlays a preceding base character. For example, a mark placed over, under, or through a Latin-based character—such as “~”—to indicate a change in phonetic value from the unmarked state. Most diacritics are nonspacing characters that don’t increase the width of the base character.
