The highest symmetry irregular icosagons are d20, an isogonal icosagon constructed by ten mirrors which can alternate long and short edges, and p20, an isotoxal icosagon, constructed with equal edge lengths, but vertices alternating two different internal angles.
Symmetries of a regular icositetragon. Vertices are colored by their symmetry positions. Blue mirrors are drawn through vertices, and purple mirrors are drawn through edge. Gyration orders are given in the center. The regular icositetragon has Dih 24 symmetry, order 48.
The highest symmetry irregular decagons are d10, an isogonal decagon constructed by five mirrors which can alternate long and short edges, and p10, an isotoxal decagon, constructed with equal edge lengths, but vertices alternating two different internal angles.
icosagon: 20 [21] icositrigon (or icosikaitrigon) 23: The simplest polygon such that the regular form cannot be constructed with neusis. [23] [22] icositetragon (or icosikaitetragon) 24 [21] icosipentagon (or icosikaipentagon) 25: The simplest polygon such that it is not known if the regular form can be constructed with neusis or not.

The Wyckoff positions are named after Ralph Wyckoff, an American X-ray crystallographer who authored several books in the field.His 1922 book, The Analytical Expression of the Results of the Theory of Space Groups, [3] contained tables with the positional coordinates, both general and special, permitted by the symmetry elements.
Two of the families are generated from shifted square, either progressive or zig-zagging positions. Grünbaum and Shephard call these tilings uniform although it contradicts Coxeter's definition for uniformity which requires edge-to-edge regular polygons. [17]
The highest symmetry irregular tetradecagons are d14, an isogonal tetradecagon constructed by seven mirrors which can alternate long and short edges, and p14, an isotoxal tetradecagon, constructed with equal edge lengths, but vertices alternating two different internal angles.
The most common high symmetry hexadecagons are d16, an isogonal hexadecagon constructed by eight mirrors can alternate long and short edges, and p16, an isotoxal hexadecagon constructed with equal edge lengths, but vertices alternating two different internal angles.
