Phonetic symbols are a set of universally accepted symbols used by linguists so that we know exactly how words are pronounced without knowing the spelling system of each language. Each phonetic symbol represents only one sound and each sound has only one symbol. They are written between brackets [ ]. Thus the English word "read" is written [rid] and "meet" is written [mit]. Anyone in the world who knows the phonetic alphabet would know how to pronounce these two words whether they know English or not.
The person who wrote "phonemic" is incorrect. There is no "phonemic" alphabet. Phonemes are based on an analysis of the phonetics of a language and are abstract symbols used to represent a class of sounds (allophones) that are related to each other by rule. Phonemic transcription uses phonetic symbols (usually) written between vergules / /, thus the phonemic representations of English "read" and "meet" are /rid/ and /mit/.

Symbols that show a sound made in a language, the main phonetic alphabet is IPA.
If you spelt out "fruitcake" in in the phonetic alphabet it would look like / fruːt / + / keɪk / = / fruːkkeɪk /.
The number of letters used in the phonetice alphabet may be different from the number used to spell it in the usual fashion as phonetic symbols account for the sound.
Phonics is another discipline used for teaching reading to kids.

They are symbols that help the speaker pronounce the word. If you open a dictionary, you will find weird symbols next to an entry.Those are the phonetic symbols.

They are signs/symbols which help people understand how to pronounce a word! Indeed each phonetic symbol represents a specific sound.

Do you mean phonemic symbol? If this is what you meant, it is a symbol which represents a sound.
It's written in between "/". Ex: the sound "m" is written: /m/.
Can't give you other ex. as I don't know how to do it on the keyboard on Yahoo! answers

There are numerous documented benefits and advantages of teaching children to read early on, and teaching them to reading using phonics and phonemic awareness instructions. It is clear that early language and reading ability development passes great benefits to the child as they progress through school at all grades, and that early language and reading problems can lead to learning problems later on in school.
