About the Codes

The codes are organized by letter types, except for diacritics which are on the diacritics entity code page. For details on how to implement these codes, see the Using the IPA Unicode Entity Code instructions.

Numeric codes are given in decimal form then hexadecimal form. For instance, the code upside-down A (ɐ) is both ɐ and ɐ in hexadecimal form.

Warnings: The numeric codes codes will not be visible on Internet Explorer for Mac or Netscape 4.7 for Mac and may not visible on Internet Explorer for Windows unless the fonts are pre-specified. Therefore, alternative non-Unicode variants are given in some cases.
