\acute{a}

The acute accent is used in LaTeX to place an acute accent over a letter, commonly used in languages like Spanish to denote stress or a specific pronunciation. In LaTeX, the command \acute{a} will produce an 'a' with an acute accent over it, resulting in 'á'. This is particularly useful for typesetting non-English words or names that require specific diacritical marks.
