A self-adhering letter, number or other symbol assembly comprises an adhesive-backed letter on a removable support layer having an upper part and a lower part divided along a line of perforation. A portion of the letter overlies each of the upper and lower support parts. The letter is spaced inwardly a predetermined first distance from a left lateral edge of the support layer. At least one mark of the same material as the letter is provided on the support and has an edge adjacent the right-hand side edge of the letter. The mark forms a reference line alignable with the left edge of a next succeeding like support layer for another letter. The reference line and mark or marks serve to laterally space adjacent letters equidistantly. The letter assembly makes it possible to use letter supports of uniform size rather than supports of differing sizes proportioned to the size of the letter. The mark may provide an edge surface adapted to act as a stop edge for the left lateral edge of the support of the next adjacent letter. The mark may be bar-shaped and may be disposed below the letter, both to act as a lateral spacing guide and to define a base or proof line for vertical alignment of adjacent letters as they are applied to a writing surface, or the like.
