So I thought at first too. But IPA does have a letter that looks like a small 3 (or better: a reversed open e [E] symbol). In (many people's) English, that vowel rhoticized is in words like "bird" /b3`d/. ([3] is also, I find, the default realization of Ibran's schwa phoneme.) *Muke! -- http://www.frath.net/
