    What is the accent on Я? (I’m a beginner Russian student and never cane across that so far)

        Thanks, but I’m specifically asking about Я̀ vs Я. I’ve never seen the variant with an accent before and the wiki page for it seems to be missing.

          My knowledge of Cyrillic is fleeting, and I’m mostly going off Wikipedia pages, so I hope someone who actually knows Russian can answer better.

          The main Cyrillic Wikipedia page says that is the acute accent (check the Diacritics section). It says it marks stress on a vowel. I don’t know what that means though, so that’s as far as I can help.
