nasal central unrounded vowel, normally transcribed in IPA as (its exact height varies from
open to
mid according to the speaker's dialect). Because it is a typically Portuguese character, it is sometimes used as a symbol of the Portuguese language.Portuguese has five nasal vowels: (ã, an, am) (en, em) (in, im) (õ, on, om) (un, um)As well as five nasal

Å
The
letter Å represents various ò sounds in the
Swedish,
Finnish,
Danish,
Norwegian,
North Frisian,
Walloon,
Chamorro and
Istro-Romanian language alphabets. Other alphabets using the letter include the
Lule Sami,
Skolt Sami and
Southern Sami alphabet.Å is often perceived as an
A with a
ring, interpreting the ring as a
diacritical mark. However, in the languages that use it, the ring is not considered a diacritic but part of the letter. It developed as a form of semi-
ligature of an A with another smaller a above it to denote a
long a, similar to how the
umlaut mark ¨ is developed from a small e written above the letter in question.

Bell character
Bell character is an
ASCII control character, code 7 (^G). When it is sent to a
printer or a
terminal, nothing is printed, but an audible signal is emitted instead.
Terminal emulator windows often flash briefly to show the user where the alert occurred.A bell code also exists in
Baudot code, which has been used in
teleprinters in some form since
1874. Sending a bell code would get the attention of the teleprinter operator at the other end of the line.In the
C programming language, the bell character is represented as '\a' ("alert" or "audible"). In
Unicode, there is a character for visual representation of bell character, ”symbol for bell“, U+2407 — not to be confused with the actual bell character, U+0007.

Floppy disk
A floppy disk is a
data storage device that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy")
magnetic storage medium encased in a
square or
rectangular plastic shell. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive or FDD, the initials of which should not be confused with "fixed disk drive", which is another term for a
hard disk drive. Invented by IBM, floppy disks in 8", 5.25", and 3.5" formats enjoyed many years as a popular and ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange, from the middle 1970s to the late 1990s. However, they have now been largely superseded by
Flash and
optical storage devices while email has become the preferred method of exchanging small to medium digital files.
