The Latin letter Q does not typically have any standard diacritical marks or accents associated with it in the standard Latin script. The letter Q is used as is in most languages that use the Latin alphabet, representing the sound /k/ before the vowel “u” (as in “quick”) or the sound /kw/ (as in “queen”).

It’s important to note that the examples mentioned above are not widely used or standard in the broader context of the Latin script. The standard form of the letter Q is the most commonly used across various languages worldwide, without any diacritical modifications.
In summary, the Latin letter Q with accents or diacritical marks is a rare occurrence, and the vast majority of languages using the Latin script do not employ any diacritical marks with this letter.
