A video game I've been playing has the following word in it:

> アェウクス

I'm not familiar with `アェ`. Does it represent a specific sound? If so, what
sound?

If it makes sense to do so, please include `アィ`・`アゥ`・ `アォ` in your answer.

question
pronunciation katakana
How is アェ pronounced?
“アェ” is not a valid spelling of any sound in the standard usage of kana
letters. If it is used to describe any sound (in a nonstandard way), I agree
with AHelps that it probably describes “æ” sound.

However, according to web search, アェウクス is a password which appears in a video
game “[時空の覇者
Sa・Ga3](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%99%82%E7%A9%BA%E3%81%AE%E8%A6%87%E8%80%85_Sa%E3%83%BBGa3).”
As it is a video game, the password used in it does not have to be actually
pronounceable. It is スクウェア (the name of the company who made the game) spelled
backward.

I usually would do this in a comment, but I lack the reputation to do so.

Click the "speaker" icon, usually Google gets those things quite right. Also I
assume that you would rather spell the 'a' in 'fat' with a エ
