Re: Signs

Hello!

There is a system of phonological writing called the
IPA:

However, this is not easy to write in email, text
documents, and html. So people have made various
ASCII-IPA transilteration schemes. I believe X-SAMPA
is the most popular on the list:

However, personally I like to use Kirshenbaum :)

Anyway, some examples:
T = th, like THink
& = a, like in tAg or Active
D = th, like THis, THat
S = sh, like aSH
Z = s,j,zh, like in meaSure or french Je
Hope that helps!
