Ugaritic Chart of Letters
The letters ṭ ṣ ẓ q wrote sounds which were the "emphatic" counterparts to "non-emphatic" t s θ k, but it is not known what the exact phonetic nature of such emphasis contrasts was in ancient Ugaritic. Certain confusions or semi-coalescences of letters (such as between ẓ and ġ etc.) hint at sound changes within Ugaritic...
The vertical red line in the last row of the table divides the basic 27 Ugaritic letters (presumably adapted from an early non-Cuneiform alphabet) from the last three letters, which seem to have been added within Ugaritic (originally to transcribe foreign words or languages). [REMOVED IN THIS VERSION OF GRAPHIC]
The only punctuation was a word divider (a short vertical stroke), not shown in the table.
Note that some of the character names included in the Unicode standard (listing at https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10380.pdf ) seem to be rather speculative and hypothetical, while other names are strangely and anachronistically taken from the Greek alphabet etc. These Unicode character names are not useful for linguistic or philological research.
