Accented Latin letters
| Letter | Description |
|---|---|
| Áá | A but with an acute accent. |
| Àà | A but with a grave accent. |
| Åå | This accented letter is on å land. |
| Ää | The letter A with an umlaut. Looks like a pretty silly looking horrified face dunnit. |
| Çç | I think French has this. |
| Éé |
 E but with an acute accent. |
| Èè | E but with a grave accent. |
| Ëë | E but with the two eyes. |
| Íí | I but with an acute accent. |
| Îî | This one kind of looks like an up arrow. |
| Ïï | The letter I but with the two eyes. Yeah, the words "I" and "Eye" sound similar. |
| Ññ | Ñ (n tilde or eñe) is a letter which represents the /ɲ/ sound in Spanish. In English, it exists in some loan words from Spanish like piñata and jalapeño where most (at-least I think) English speakers pronounce it as a consonant cluster /nj/. |
| Óó | O but with an acute accent. |
| Ôô | |
| Öö | |
| Øø | Ø is a letter idk what to write for this one. |
| Úú | U but with an acute accent. |
| Üü | Ü is a letter that looks like a face with a really big smile. Reminds me of those people from those school posters. |
| Ææ | Æ (or ash) is a letter that looks like if someone stuck an A ænd an E together. I personally pronounce it more like "adobe æfter effects", but its intended pronunciation was of a vowel between a and e (/æ/). It's fallen out of favor in recent years, but you can still bring it back if you want to. |
| Ðð | Ð (eth, eð, or ðed) is a letter which represents ðe voiced "þ" sound. It's pretty much just a d with a line through it ðat no one uses anymore outside of the IPA. |
| ẞß | A German S that looks like a B. |
| Ńń | N but with an acute accent. |
| Œœ | To be honest I always pronounced this one kinda like "oh" (/o͡wi/) |
IPA symbols
| Letter | Description |
|---|---|
| Ɛɛ | Ɛ (open E or Latin epsilon) is an E that looks like a backwards 3. Don't know exactly why it exists, but it does.
o Ɛ o funny face Ɛ> |
| Əə | This letter is called schwa, and looks like a lowercase e turned upside down. |
| Ŋŋ |  Ŋ (or eng or engma) looks like an N and J put together, which is weird because it's the sound of ng in most words. It was created by a guy who wanted to reform Eŋlish spelliŋ to simplify the digraph "ng" into one letter, but hardly anyone ever used it until it was added into the IPA in 1900. I honestly really like Ŋ and find it handy for writiŋ in cursive more quickly — I do a loop below the base line before continuiŋ on to the next letter (or more often the end of the word). |
| Ʃʃ |
This is not sigma, it's eʃ; it makes the "sh" sound. It was invented by some guy in his Engliʃ phonetic alphabet and was later taken by the IPA (IPA, not IPA) for use in the IPA. |
| Ʒʒ | Ʒ (ezh or eʒ) is a letter invented by some guy for his phonetic alphabet and was later taken by the IPA for use in the IPA. |
| ʔ | It's a gloʔal stop. |
| ʡ | A glottal stop, but scary. |

Hiragana
| Letter | Description |
|---|---|
| あ | While you could say this is the Hiragana equivalent to the letter A, I think it's more accurate to say it's a syllable that's just the sound "a". It's not really equivalent to any English letter because it's not an alphabet.
Its Katakana counterpart is ア. |
| く |
The Japanese lookalike to the left arrow. |
| の | のの |
| ひ | This funny Japanese hiragana that looks like a nose represents the syllable "hi"!
Squidward: This letter SUCKS... |
| ふ | I don't know what to say other than if this was a number 3 covered in brackets. |
| へ |
The Hiragana and Katakana variants of this syllable look like each other... |
| ろ |
The Hiragana counterpart to this square. |
| ん | The Hiragana equivalent to the letter N. |
