A is the letter that was used to represent a team
in an old TV show, The A-Team. In musical notation, the letter A is the symbol of a note in the
scale, below B and above G. That is not surprising, because it means the same sound.

character encodings for ⟨A⟩ and ⟨a⟩ with diacritics, for most
of those listed above; the remainder are produced using combining
diacritics. The double ⟨aa⟩ sequence does not occur in native English words,
but is found in some words derived from foreign languages
such as Aaron and aardvark.
The names of the vowel letter u and the semivowel
letters w and y are pronounced with a beginning consonant sound.
The names of the consonant letters f, h, l, m, n, r, s,
and x are pronounced with a beginning vowel sound. Problems arise occasionally when the following word begins with a vowel letter but actually starts
with a consonant sound, or vice versa. In algebra, the letter
"A" along with other letters at the beginning of the alphabet is used to represent known quantities.
In most languages that use the Latin alphabet, ⟨a⟩ denotes an open unrounded vowel, such as /a/, /ä/, or /ɑ/.
