What does an A with A circle above it sound like?
The A with two dots (Ä) is pronounced like the english word "air", whereas the A with the ring (Å) is pronounced "oar", there is also an O with two dots (Ő) which is pronounced "eugh" - or something rather similar, there isn't really an equivalent sound in English.
An overstruck 'A' and 'O' (whether the 'A' is enclosed in the 'O' or extends beyond it). The symbol is an acronym of the slogan "Anarchy is Order" by French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. It is now commonly interpreted as an 'A' in a circle.
Â, â (a-circumflex) is a letter of the Inari Sami, Skolt Sami, Romanian, and Vietnamese alphabets. This letter also appears in French, Friulian, Frisian, Portuguese, Turkish, Walloon, and Welsh languages as a variant of the letter "a".
Historically, the å derives from the Old Norse long /aː/ vowel (spelled with the letter á), but over time, it developed into an [ɔː] sound in most Scandinavian language varieties (in Swedish and Norwegian, it has eventually reached the pronunciation [oː]).
Angstrom/circle (å)
The symbol Å or å is a letter that appears in the alphabets of some Scandinavian languages, such as Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. In English, this symbol is used to represent the angstrom, a unit of measurement named after Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.
angstrom (Å), unit of length, equal to 10−10 metre, or 0.1 nanometre. It is used chiefly in measuring wavelengths of light. (Visible light stretches from 4000 to 7000 Å.) It is named for the 19th-century Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.
Diacritics, often loosely called `accents', are the various little dots and squiggles which, in many languages, are written above, below or on top of certain letters of the alphabet to indicate something about their pronunciation.
Ā, lowercase ā, is a grapheme, a Latin A with a macron, used in several orthographies. Ā is used to denote a long A.
ã — Also pronounced nasally, this is somewhat similar to “an.”
A with tilde (majuscule: Ã, minuscule: ã) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the tilde diacritic over the letter A. It is used in Portuguese, Guaraní, Kashubian, Taa, Aromanian, and Vietnamese. In the past, it was also used in Greenlandic.
