| Unicode | |
A number of special phonetic symbols occur in the Ling 001 web pages. They are encoded using the Unicode standard, which requires two things to function:
a Unicode-compatible browser, such as Internet Explorer (for Windows but not Macintosh) or Safari (for Macintosh OS X).
a Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS (for Windows, supplied as part of Microsoft Office) or Lucida Grande (standard with Macintosh OS X). Some Unicode fonts, such as Lucida Sans Unicode, may not have complete coverage of the phonetic characters used in this course. If you don't already have an appropriate Unicode font, download and install the free font called Gentium.
If your system meets these requirements, you should see a variety of phonetic symbols in the next line.
[ðɪs 'sɛntn̩s ɪz 'ɹɪtn̩ wɪθ fə'nɛɾɪk 'sɪmbl̩z]
If you don't see phonetic symbols, even after installing Gentium or one of the other fonts mentioned above, see this page or this one for assistance.
Below are some of the specific character ranges for Unicode symbols; this is one of the things to look for when evaluating the coverage of a particular font (adapted from Alan Wood's Unicode Resources):
