Unicode forgot to encode R-grave when encoding the letters with stress marks. The system is identical both in Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
They use (in dictionaries, orthography, and grammar books, for example) four different stress marks (grave, acute, double grave, and inverted breve) on the letters a, e, i, o, r, and u: à è ì ò r̀ ù. In Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene, the stressed syllable can be short or long and have a rising or falling tone. Now the main stress is preferably marked with an acute, and the role of the grave is limited to marking secondary stress in compound words (in dictionaries and linguistic literature). Ukrainian, Rusyn, Belarusian, and Russian used a similar system until the first half of the 20th century. In turn, it changes the pronunciation and the whole meaning of the group. Then, it forces the stress on the accented word-syllable instead of having a different syllable in the stress group getting accented. In Macedonian the stress mark is orthographically required to distinguish homographs (see Disambiguation) and is put mostly on the vowels е and и. It most commonly appears in books for children or foreigners, and dictionaries-or to distinguish between near- homophones: па̀ра ( pàra, "steam/vapour") and пара̀ ( parà, "cent/penny, money"), въ̀лна ( vằlna, "wool") and вълна̀ ( vǎlnà, "wave"). In Bulgarian, the grave accent sometimes appears on the vowels а, о, у, е, и, and ъ to mark stress. Italian has word pairs where one has an accent marked and the other not, with different pronunciation and meaning-such as pero ("pear tree") and però ("but"), and Papa ("Pope") and papà ("dad") the latter example is also valid for Catalan. Other mistakes arise from the misunderstanding of truncated and elided words: the phrase un po’ ("a little"), which is the truncated version of un poco, may be mistakenly spelled as * un pò. This is nonstandard but is especially common when typing capital letters: * E` or * E’ instead of È (" is"). Typists who use a keyboard without accented characters and are unfamiliar with input methods for typing accented letters sometimes use a separate grave accent or even an apostrophe instead of the proper accent character. Some examples of words with a final grave accent are città ("city"), così ("so/then/thus"), più ("more"/"plus"), Mosè ("Moses"), and portò (" brought/carried"). Words that end with stressed -e or -o may bear either an acute accent or a grave accent, depending on whether the final e or o sound is closed or open, respectively. The grave accent marks the stressed vowels of words in Maltese, Catalan, and Italian.Ī general rule in Italian is that words that end with stressed -a, -i, or -u must be marked with a grave accent. The accent mark was called βαρεῖα, the feminine form of the adjective βαρύς ( barús), meaning "heavy" or "low in pitch." This was calqued (loan-translated) into Latin as gravis, which then became the English word grave. The grave and circumflex have been replaced with an acute accent in the modern monotonic orthography.
In modern practice, it replaces an acute accent in the last syllable of a word when that word is followed immediately by another word.
