Emphatic accents are called accents that emphasize the sound in interrogative or exclamatory sentences. They can be written accents or not. Emphatic marking does not change the meaning of stressed words. It is used in interrogative and exclamatory pronouns to distinguish them from relative pronouns.
The pronouns what, who, what, where, when, how and how much, have an accent if they express a question or an exclamation. When a question is asked, the intonation is different. If the phrase is written, question marks will be used. This case is a direct question.
