The phonemes of a language can be represented by phonemic symbols, such /iː /, /aɪ/ and /ɜː/. Each phonemic symbol represents only one phoneme, unlike the letters of the alphabet in English where, for example, the letter a in written English represents the /æ / sound in hat; the /eɪ/ sound in made and the /ə/ sound in usually. Phonemic symbols help the reader know exactly what the correct pronunciation is. A phonemic script is a set of phonemic symbols which show (in writing) how words are pronounced, e.g. beautiful is written /bjuːtɪfl /, television is /telɪvɪʒn / and yellow is /jeləʊ /.
