Do phonetic symbols have names in English?
2012年4月19日 · These are ʃ "esh", ŋ "eng". Exception: ð is apparently called "edh" /ɛð/ (also spelled "eth") and ʒ "ezh" even though you would expect *"thee" and *"zhee". Some have conventional names based on their shapes: ɤ ram's horns. Some are always named using a description of their phonetic value: ʔ glottal stop.
