Alphabets Page #20
This page lists all the various symbols in the Alphabets category.
An alphabet is a standard set of letters (basic written symbols or graphemes) that is used to write one or more languages based on the general principle that the letters represent phonemes (basic significant sounds) of the spoken language. This is in contrast to other types of writing systems, such as syllabaries (in which each character represents a syllable) and logographies (in which each character represents a word, morpheme, or semantic unit).

The name in English is pronounced /taʊ/ or /tɔː/,

The Phoenix Symbol
In Greek mythology, a phoenix or phenix (Ancient Greek φοίνιξ phóinīx) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. The phoenix was subsequently adopted as a symbol in Early Christianity.

In Slavic languages, it represents the continuation of Proto-Slavic non-palatal l (see dark L), except Polish where it evolved into /w/. In most non-European languages, it represents a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative or similar sound.
