The following show the typical symbols for consonants and vowels used in [[SAMPA]], an [[ASCII]]-based system based on the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]. SAMPA is not a universal system as it varies from language to language.

{{efn|name=r|It is common, especially in Spanish and Italian, to represent the alveolar trill with [<code>rr</code>] and the alveolar flap with [<code>r</code>]. It has been proposed to use [<code>4</code>] for the alveolar flap, in which case [<code>r</code>] can be used to represent the trill (as its equivalent in the IPA system), and [<code>j\</code>] for the palatal fricative, keeping in this way the policy of using one letter per one IPA symbol (and a backslash for alternative symbols).}}
{{efn|name=j|Also in Spanish, [<code>jj</code>] is used to represent the palatal fricative against the semivowel [<code>j</code>].}}
