Ah, the symbol you're referring to is called a "lowercase o with a macron," used in linguistics to represent a long vowel sound. So, in simpler terms, it's like saying the "o" sound in "boat" instead of the "o" sound in "cot." Hope that clears things up for you!
The dots over i and j are called tittles. This is what wikipedia says:The tittle first appeared in Latin manuscripts in the 11th century, to distinguish the letter i from strokes of nearby letters. Although originally a larger mark, it was reduced to a dot when Roman-style typefaces were introduced.The 'u' or 'j' with two dots over are used in some languages,hungarian, Portuguese, to represent a different vowel sound to the English sound.I think they represent a vowel that is more 'fronted' than the English vowel.
Actually, this word is quite weird! Their are only two syllables in the word increased! IN-CREASED! The last few letters 'ED' are not counted as a single syllable because it doesn't sound like proper-English. Hope this Helps!
A sound bar is a special loudspeaker, consisting of a single cabinet, that creates a stereo sound. A visual representation thereof would be a visualization of the input sound, not the sound bar itself.
Digraphs are pairs of letters that represent a single sound, such as "ou" in 'sound' or "ow" in 'cow'.
The "ph" sound is a digraph, which is a combination of two letters that represent a single sound. In words like "phone" or "photo," the "ph" sound is pronounced as an "f."
The word "kerchief" contains a digraph. Digraphs are pairs of letters that represent a single sound, in this case, the "ch" sound.
Each of the vowels A, E, I, O and U has at least two sounds, so-called long and short; C and G are hard or soft; S is voiced or unvoiced; X is pronounced Z at the beginning of a word; Y can have a long I sound or a long E sound.
A letter is a single character that represents a sound (or sounds). An alphabet is a group of letters.
That's a "diphthong".
Two signs or characters combined to express a single articulated sound; as ea in head, or th in bath.

"Sound it out"
Y and Z are the last letters in the alphabet. W and J were the last letters to be added to the alphabet. Originally, the letter U was also used to represent the W sound, and the letter I to represent the J sound.
Digraph.
The first Hebrew letter is called "Alef" (א). It is a silent letter.
