It is needed to create what might otherwise be LATIN SMALL LETTER Q WITH
ACUTE ACCENT as well.
This is not a Unicode character, but is easily constructed as:

    \buildtextaccent\textacute q

for use in setting, for example, this bit of Spinoza's /Tractatus
Politicus/, in which it appears four times.
The character was commonly used in Latin texts published from the 16th
through the 19th century.



The above was done with LaTeX (\csdef is from etoolbox) and the
following preamble code:

    \DeclareTextAccent{\RKacute}{\UTFencname}{"00B4}
    \newcommand*{\RKqacute}{\RKacute q}% LATIN SMALL LETTER Q WITH ACUTE
    ACCENT
    %  The following works, instead of the above, with Linux Libertine (and
    %+   probably many other fonts) but does not work with the IM Fell
    fonts,
    %+   which are missing glyph 0x301, COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT:
    %   \csdef{RKacute}#1{#1\char"301}
    %   \csdef{RKqacute}{\RKacute{q}}


do we need a module with predefined 'missing from unicode' characters?
