Grapheme - a letter or group of letters used to represent phonemes (speech sounds). Graphemes do not always have a one-to-one correspondence with letters in words. For example, the word fun has three letters and three graphemes: ‘f,’ ‘u,’ ‘n.’. The word light has five letters but only three graphemes: ‘l’, ‘igh’, ‘t’.
