文字って英語でなんて言うの？

*What letter is that? Letters are letters from the alphabet. The letters of the alphabet are "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z" *What character is that? A character is a letter, number, or other symbol that is written or printed. Therefore letters are also characters.

"Which letter is this?" This simply asks them to tell you which letter it is. "Can you tell me which letter that is?" This politely asks them to tell you what the letter is called or how you pronounce it. "I don't recognize that letter. Can you explain which one it is?" This politely explains that you do not know the letter and would like them to tell you which one it is and how to say it.

Letters of an alphabet each have their own name - but you need to learn the alphabet to know what they are called, so if you are looking at a letter from an unknown alphabet, you could identify it as a 'letter from a foreign alpabet,' or 'a character from another writing system,' or, if it is a more complicated script, or a pictoral script, one character of that script may be called a 'hyroglyph,' or possibly, a 'symbo,. or possibly, a 'sign.'

An accent is a mark on a letter -most often a vowel that tells us where to place our emphasis when speaking the word. There are few of these in the English language and they are more likely to be found on words that have been taken from other languages such as French words. "Whats the meaning of that letter?" This is a very simple way of finding out what it means.

Have you seen this character before? What is it? I have never seen this letter before. Would you know what it means? This is not familiar to me at all. I wonder what it means. Would you know? This is a strange symbol...would you be able to shed more light on this please?

examples "The letters on the keyboard are in the qwerty configuration". or "There are many letters in our alphabet". or "There are several characters on a keyboard". or "I need to practice the alphabet".

English does not have characters. If you see an unfamiliar letter, you can ask "What letter is this?" Native English words only use the letters "A, B, C,D,E, F,G,H, I,J,K, L, M,N, O,P, Q, R, S,T, U, V, W, X, Y,Z." Foreign loanwords sometimes use foreign letters such as a cedilla (ç) or an eñe (ñ). These are sometimes referred to their native names, but also sometimes described as simply "an n with a tilde."

When you don't recognize a certain character/letter and want to ask someone what it is and what it's called, then you can ask in the following ways: -Please tell me what I can call that character? -What letter is that?
