21.3 Accents
LaTeX has wide support for many of the world's scripts and
languages, through the babel
package and related support. This
section does not attempt to cover all that support. It merely the
core LaTeX commands for creating accented characters.

- Not exactly an accent, this produces a bar under the argument text.
The argument is always processed in horizontal mode. The bar is
always a fixed position under the baseline, thus crossing through
descenders. See also

\v
- Produces a hác<ek (check) accent, as in `o<'.
