Words that start with %φ

The second character there (the circle with the vertical line) is simply the Russian letter for “F”

The é is an “e” with the French accent aigu. It makes the e have a long A sound (like ‘ay’ in words like bay or say)

The ß looks like a “B” but is actually a German letter that represents double s (ss). Straße = strasse (street), Fußball = fussball (soccer)

We all know the female symbol, not a letter

ï is an “i” with what the French call a tréma accent above it. Placed above a vowel, it’s used to indicate that that vowel is pronounced separately from the vowel that precedes it. For example, “mais” (but) is pronounced ‘may’. One syllable. However “maïs” (corn) is pronounced ‘may-ees’, two syllables

M is just an M

É is just a capital é (see above)

The % at the beginning and the r-with-circle trademark are also obviously not letters

So, omitting the non-letters, that word would be pronounced faysseemay
