Hello!
I'm well aware that phonic/native-type letters are
within UniCode, but I also know that there're (at
least) *2* separate font encoding codepages for the
*IPA* alone�the most well known one is (perhaps) the
IPA-SAM system; another scheme's described in a 3-page
.PDF file from a website (probably a printer company's
site, or somewhere). The SIL�& a few others�have
their own IPA encoding schemes, too. As for native
orthographies, J�rg Knappen has his *African Computer*
encoding scheme for African native languages that also
serves Maltese, S�mi, &�perhaps�Hawai'ian!
As for IPA fonts, the lowercase <g> has its
'sans-serif-like' look, the numerals are replaced by
(mostly) vowel symbols, the highercase letters
replaced by more symbols (IE.: <@> is shwa
[turned-e], <J> is anyo [left-tailed-n], <X> is a
Greek khi, & <�> [<ALT<>0128>] appears as implosive-b
[hooktop-b], ...); a good part of the high-ANSI area
has overstruck accents & tone symbols.
Thank You!
