I and Muke have been through it, and there is no option for
controlling this behavior. Use the ‍ trick I described,

In principle any Unicode character is 'available', you just
need some way of entering them. For one convenient method see:
<http://wiki.frath.net/Help:Editing_with_an_external_editor_in_Windows>
(If the link is broken, try <http://tinyurl.com/2z39nd>.
As for the links for entering IPA in the edit view, it is
Mukes thing, but it is perhaps a bad idea to extend it to
all of Unicode! :-)
