IPA Extensions

Linguists use the International Phonetic Alphabetic (IPA) to identify uniquely and unambiguously particular sounds of various spoken languages. Besides the symbols listed in this block, the IPA requires use of ASCII, various other extended Latin characters, the combining diacritical marks in Table 27-11, and a few Greek letters. The block, shown in Table 27-9, only contains the characters not used in more traditional alphabets.
