[x\] should be on the CXS chart, since it's part of X-SAMPA. It corresponds to
IPA hooktop heng, and denotes the simultaneous articulation of [S] and [x].

[8\] is mine and BP's homecooked convention to ASCIIify "turned m with short
middle leg", a sign that's used in Swedish phonetics to denote a labialized
[2]. The sound might more clunkily and analytically be denoted as [2_w]. It may
be noted that my lect substitutes plain old boring [u\] for it.
