I'll make a note of that for when I put the web page together.
One thing I noticed when going over the Unicode list to make sure I hadn't
left out any useful characters that weren't mentioned in the IPA handbook:
the different spacing modifier letters based on different forms of "r"
(U+02B3 - U+02B6) might be a problem. The logical mapping for them would be
[^r] [^r\] [^r\;] [^r"], but I currently use [^r] for the "rhoticity" mark.
Does anyone use these modifier letters? I guess I could use [^R] for
"rhoticity".
