The symbols being discussed were created by Astra Image Corporation for
use in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

They are the same things, with a few minor stylistic differences around
the edges and a few symbols missing from the font.

I have three ways that *I* use to refer to letters of the KLIpIqaDmey font.
The main method is simply to make the sound it represents. The other way
that most people would understand is to invoke the name of the romanized
spelling equivalent: kyoo, aye, see-aitch, big kyoo, oh, tick. I've got
another possibility as well, using the keyboard mapping of the letters to
name them -- kay, aye, see, kyoo, oh, tick -- but not many people would be
able to recognize it quickly.
