The phonetic alphabet is used to make spellings clearer over phone or radio - kilo for letter k, foxtrot for letter f. Police and other organisations use it to make sure that spellings are clear to the person hearing it. For example a car registration number - F123 ABC would be Foxtrot, 1, 2, 3, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.
The full Phonetic Alphabet is as follows;
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu.
It shows you how to pronouce/say certain letters, phrases, and words. Accented letters, such as é, use the symbols above the letter to show you in textual form how the letter sounds. All vowels in the English language have different types of accented forms due to the long and short way they can be said. For example, "e" can be pronounced "eee" or "eh".
If you are referring to an alphabet that is phonemic instead of phonetic, then a phonemic alphabet does not distinguish between allophones of the same letter.
For example, the American English letterT has several allophones. The t in bottle, tap, and cat are actually pronounced differently, but it is not necessary to use different symbols because the t in cat never appears at the beginning of a word.
First of all, most alphabets on the planet are phonetic. So a phonetic alphabet IS a conventional alphabet. A notable exception to this rule is English, which has a phonemic alphabet instead of a phonetic one. A phonetic alphabet is more consistent because there is no ambiguity regarding pronunciation.
O in the Phonetic Alphabet is Oscar (oss - ca )
It is called the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA.
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, it is India, however UK Police do use Indigo.

The phonetic alphabet was developed to improve communication over radio and telephone systems by creating a standardized way to represent letters and numbers that are easily distinguishable and understood, especially in noisy or unclear conditions. It helps to reduce misunderstandings and errors during verbal communication between speakers of different languages or accents.
It is called the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA.
The NATO phonetic alphabet doesn't have any codewords for numbers, only for letters of the alphabet.
F in the phonetic alphabet is Foxtrot (fox - trot)
