Spacing Modifier Letters is a Unicode block containing characters for the IPA, UPA, and other phonetic transcriptions. Included are the IPA tone marks, and modifiers for aspiration and palatalization .
A modifier letter, in the Unicode Standard, is a letter or symbol typically written next to another letter that it modifies in some way.. They generally function like diacritics, changing the sound-values of the letter it is next to (usually the letter preceding it but sometimes the following letter instead).
Alternatively, sometimes 3 or 6 letters can be leet-ified into a valid hexadecimal color code: "614D05" is a valid HEX-code for a dark shade of gold color, referencing GLaDOS; "572E55" (or "572355") is a dark purple color, coming from the word "STRESS"; "1C373A" is a dark cyan ("icy") color, derived from "ICE TEA";
Some sources distinguish "diacritical marks" (marks upon standard letters in the A–Z 26-letter alphabet) from "special characters" (letters not marked but radically modified from the standard 26-letter alphabet) such as Old English and Icelandic eth (Ð, ð) and thorn (uppercase Þ, lowercase þ), and ligatures such as Latin and Anglo-Saxon Æ (minuscule: æ), and German eszett (ß; final ...

Some non-English language keyboards have special keys to produce accented modifications of the standard Latin-letter keys. In fact, the standard British keyboard layout includes an accent key on the top-left corner to produce àèìòù, although this is a two step procedure, with the user pressing the accent key, releasing, then pressing the letter key.
The modifier letter prime (ʹ) is a spacing glyph. It is used in the romanization of Cyrillic for palatalized consonants (particularly for the letter ь) and in the orthography of the Skolt Sami for suprasegmental palatalization. It is encoded at U+02B9 ʹ MODIFIER LETTER PRIME.
The primary difference between the letter apostrophe and U+2019 is that the letter apostrophe U+02BC has the Unicode General Category "Letter, modifier" (Lm), while U+2019 has the category "Punctuation, Final quote" (Pf). In early Unicode (versions 1.0 [2] –2.1.9 [3]) U+02BC was preferred for the punctuation apostrophe in English.
