Hello

What are the names of phonetic symbols?
I only know the "schwa"

 

[5jj]

Very few phonetic symbols have names.

Thank you but I feel like I know nothing about english when I try to describe the symbol to the person infront of me
The face he makes at me feels me disappointed

Some symbols do have names. Some are just letters from various alphabets. From the Latin alphabet:

m em
t tee

From the Greek alphabet

θ theta

From the Old English Latin alphabet:

ð eth
æ ash

But there are others that have names.

ʒ ezh
ʃ esh
ŋ eng
ʌ turned v
ɔ open o
