Both points taken. Which of the two ASCII IPA's is preferred on Qalam? The
least I could do is to find good docs. on the preferred system (or both)
and print them out, reformatting as required. I would appreciate some help
with learning terms used in phonetics, though, if doing so is necessary to
use ASCII IPA properly.

Testing a few Unicode IPA extensions in e-mail:
ə LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA
ʘ LATIN LETTER BULLSEYE
ʗ LATIN LETTER STRETCHED C
