I was talking about how to refer to (not use) IPA characters in email.  Thus
you could say something like this:

        In this document, /N/ refers to U+0273 LATIN SMALL LETTER
        N WITH RETROFLEX HOOK, which can be viewed at
        http://charts.unicode.org/Unicode.charts/Small.Glyphs/02/U0273.gif .

The Unicode repertoire provides a set of names (numeric and English)
for IPA letters (or almost any other letters), and the charts.unicode.org
site provides pictures for people who don't recognize the names.
