First of all: have a look at <http://www.theiling.de/ipa/>

This should be [&\]...


Except that modifying backslashes **should** go
**before** the thing they modify...

The long story is that I've added a whole slew
of CXS-like codes for entering Unicode IPA
characters to my compose file in Ubuntu, and
for technical reasons I had to use leading
backslashes instead of trailing ones.

[OE] and [oe] do actually occur in languages...

The question how you should write /6\/


& is Shift+6 y'know...  But a rounded [6] *is*
probably one of the values of the Swedish
vowel traditionally transcribed [&\] -- with me
it definitely is in the vicinity of [3\].



And so should this.

(I just wanted to take away a source of confusion.)


'tis OK.


[snip]

If you have nothing against diacritics
and you use é and è similar to how they are used in
French then you might use something like

		Front				Back
		Unrounded	Rounded		Rounded

Half-closed	é		ő		ó

Half-open	e		ö		o

Open		è		ȍ		ò


So the bottom line would be [a] [&\] [Q]?



No, [& &\ Q].
