It's pronounced "Havva Ýþkan Iþýk".

The surrounding area should end up liberally sprayed with spit.

Havva Ishkan Ishik, Ishik means light by the way.

The "Ý" is actually an "I" with a dot on top. Its pronounced like "E".

The "þ" is actually an "s" with a accent on the bottom. It gives a sound similar to "sch" or "sh".

The "ý" is actually an "i" without the dot on top. It does not correspond to any sound in English.

Some Turkish characters turn into those strange letters when copied and pasted on computers with no Turkish character set installed.
