You mean the small capitals? Since it's mostly based on CPA (with a few
minor changes), most of them are made with the " prefix: {"B} for the small
capital B, or {"L} for a small capital L. The small capital G is an
exception: {Q}, although it could just as easily be {"G} since that's not
used for anything. The small capital OE ligature is {OE} + {Alt+=}.

Or are you talking about the keyboards in general, not the IPA keyboard
specifically? The Latin keyboard uses shifted letters for capitals, as
you'd expect. The other keyboards don't have any capital letters.
