It's the accent above the "r" in Dvořák. There is also an accent above the "a". The word "hachek" (hacheck, or transliterated any other way one likes) is, of course, self-referentially spelled with a hachek in Czech -- háček. I can only hope that all my diacritics survive the various email editors through which they pass.
