Note: Excellent font for linguistics and ancient languages. (Hausa also uses a few other IPA characters.) Font Samples font sample * For example the African language Hausa uses the hooked 'b' (U+0253) so a non-IPA uppercase hooked 'b' (U+0181) was created. Some IPA characters have been adopted into alphabets for specific languages, so uppercase forms have been created. The alphabet is caseless even though some of its characters look like uppercase forms. There are specific handwritten forms of IPA-unique characters. It is based (mostly) on Latin letters and uses a large number of diacritics.
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was created by the International Phonetic Association in the 1880s to transcribe the sounds of all spoken languages. WAZU JAPAN's Gallery of Unicode Fonts International Phonetic Alphabet
