What are the accents in Czech?
Vowels with an accent (\xfd, \xed, \xe1, é, \xfa) or a small circle (ů) are lengthened, while accents above other consonants and vowels (š, č, ň, ř, ž, ě) soften the sound.
For example, š is pronounced “sh” (as in shoulder), č is “ch” (as in cheese) and ň is “n-ye” (as in onion)..
- The kroužek is used only with "U" in Czech.
It is actually the same sound as a "U" with a čarka.
The difference is that the ů is used inside words, while \xda / \xfa is used at the start of words.
I've put together the following table from a bunch of resources I found and conglomerated into one place.Oct 14, 2007 - \xda/\xfa is a variant of U carrying an acute accent; it represents an /u/ carrying the tonic accent.
It is used only if it is the last letter of the word except in dictionaries.
