• Key Concepts: 
  A phoneme is a unit of sound in a language that distinguishes one word from another. In SAP, phonemes are used to represent characters in different languages. This allows for the correct display of characters in different languages, as well as the correct pronunciation of words. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, phonemes are used to represent characters in different languages. This is done by assigning a phoneme to each character in a language. For example, the character “a” may be represented by the phoneme “ah” in English, while it may be represented by the phoneme “ah-ee” in Spanish. This allows for the correct display of characters in different languages, as well as the correct pronunciation of words. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using phonemes in SAP, it is important to ensure that the correct phonemes are used for each language. This will ensure that characters are displayed correctly and words are pronounced correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all characters are represented by a phoneme, as this will ensure that all characters are displayed correctly.
