 International Phonetic Alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To properly view IPA symbols in Internet Explorer for Windows, you must set your browser font to a typeface that includes the IPA extensions, such as Lucida Sans Unicode (which comes with Windows XP), Gentium (which is freely available), Doulos (SIL) (same source, SIL), or Arial Unicode MS (which comes with Microsoft Office).
These systems are often used in electronic media, although their usage has been declining with the development of computer technology, specifically because of spreading support for Unicode.
Unicode version 4.1 does not encode these, though subsequent versions will.
