If you have reached this page via a SEARCH engine, click HERE to visit our home page with more info about the IPA.
To display IPA symbols correctly in your web browser,
To do this you put ampersand, number sign, the Unicode number for the symbol, and semicolon. For example, to include the velar nasal symbol, ŋ, which has the Unicode number 331, write ŋ
To transcribe the English word thing, θɪŋ, write
θɪŋ
<META CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8">
Note:
The "CHARSET=UTF-8" MUST be included in the META CONTENT tag for NETSCAPE browsers to display the IPA symbols. IExplorer browsers will display the symbols
correctly without it, but it is best to include this CHARSET setting to cover all bases.

As you can see, several of these are not at all satisfactory. In fact some of them are so illegible I thought it best to bold them all.

IPA Fonts (using SIL IPA fonts)
Charted fonts shown in 24 pt.
This is an example of entering some of the SIL IPA fonts as you would in a word processor.
The examples shown in these charts just use standard keystrokes, and no "decimal numeric entity."
You may also insert these symbols in a word processor by clicking "Insert-Symbol", then clicking on the font/symbol of choice.
If the characters all look the same in these charts, you do not have the SIL IPA 12a fonts installed.
You may download the SIL IPA 12a fonts here: SIL IPA 12a.
