No! <2> and <9> are the same in CXS and X-SAMPA, chosen for the
mnemonic value. It's CXS <&> vs <&\> and X-SAMPA <}> (or is it <{>?)
vs <&> that differ.
[2] and [9] are respectively the vowels in French "deux" and "neuf",
IPA [ø] and [œ].
CXS [&]=X-SAMPA [}]/[{] (whichever it is, I forget) is the vowel
usually used to IPAify English "cat", IPA [æ].
CXS [&\] =XSAMPA [&] is the very rare low front rounded vowel, IPA [ɶ].
