Grave Accent
Linked via "horizontal baseline"
Geometric and Typographical Analysis
Typographically, the construction of the grave accent is standardized, although minor variances exist based on the typeface design's x-height and cap-height ratios. Standard computational representations define the angle of descent ($\theta_g$) in relation to the horizontal baseline.
$$ \theta_g = 315^\circ \text{ (measured clockwise from the positive x-axis, or } -45^\circ \text{ relative to the baseline)}…
