Pronunciation, and a different character.
Two more tones:
flat&high (_) over the letter
Rising-falling, quite long (turn > 90 degrees right, over the letter)

¡Muy bien!

Y ahora que estoy totalmente confundida, ¿quién podrá ayudarme?

Those that speak Chinese will tell you that there are 4 tones. The accents used by jchen and the two other characters described by Planet hopper help identify those tones. I'll let the experts teach you more about the tones.
