EN: diacritical mark (in Baybayin)
The 'special character' of Baybayin, the OG Filipino script. It's the small mark you add to a character that's like choosing between 'e/i' or 'o/u'. Getting your kudlit right is the difference between writing 'bata' (child) and 'bato' (stone). It's the ancestor of the accent mark on your keyboard.
Primarily used in the context of the ancient Filipino script, Baybayin. It can also mean a small incision or mark, similar to 'kudlis', but the Baybayin meaning is more specific and common in modern discourse.
