List of IPA alphabets in Unicode


© 1999.5.14, 2001.5.6 TAKAHASHI Makoto

International Phonetic Alphabet has great popularity in Japan. In our country, IPA alphabet is used in English education of junior high schools. Maybe, that is the reason why only MS Minchô font includes IPA Alphabet implementation. In Unicode,

Lucida Sans Unicode of Windows 2000 conrains all characters of IPA Extension, Spacing Modifier Letters, and Combining Diacritical Marks of Unicode 2.1. If you install this font, you can see these characters in row of MS font.

If you download IPA font from The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and install it, you will see IPA alphabet of SIL font. We found difference between Unicode and SIL font and IPA page. It is shown in Difference list of Unicode vs. IPA. Existence of character in IPA is referred to the International Phonetic Association and Henry Rogers IPAPhon also. If IPA number of character is different between SIL and IPAPhon, both numbers are written. Verdana contains a part of Combining Diacritical Marks, but that are not combining marks. Tahoma contains combining marks.
  Markus Kramer’s information about Handbook of the International Phonetic Association, Cambridge Press, 1999 is greatly appreciated.
