Phonetic Symbols In Unicode
Unicode supports several phonetic scripts and notations through the existing writing systems and the addition of extra blocks with phonetic characters. These phonetic extras are derived of an existing script, usually Latin, Greek or Cyrillic. In Unicode there is no "IPA script". Apart from IPA, these blocks also contain Uralic Phonetic Alphabet characters.
Apart from regular Latin and Greek characters like m and ɛ, these symbols are in special phonetics blocks:
- IPA Extensions (0250–02AF)
- Spacing Modifier Letters (02B0–02FF)
- Phonetic Extensions (1D00–1D7F)
- Phonetic Extensions Supplement (1D80–1DBF)
- Modifier Tone Letters (A700–A71F)
- Superscripts and Subscripts (2070–209F)

Famous quotes containing the words phonetic and/or symbols:
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely, because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The ransom of privacy is that you are alone.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)
